No. Compat should be the major version number of Debhelper the package requires based on its use of Debhelper features. Compat 7 is only appropriate if Debhelper 7 features are used. Compat less than 4 is deprecated, so if you hit a package with 1 - 3, it should be bumped and the packaging updated. Compat 4 - 6 are just fine.
