It is indeed harmless. To be sure, I added debian/compat again and set "debhelper (>= 9)" in debian/control, plus a new changelog entry (with same date to not trigger lots of spurious date-related changes). Attached source debdiff and diffoscope output, where the only changes are the expected ones: Version and changelog.gz size. Thanks.
