    Stay with compat level 10 until stable supports higher levels w/o bpo
    
    Document this as a comment in debian/control and debian/compat.
    
    The comment in debian/control needs to be on a separate line as a
    hashmark behind a dependency (and on the same line) is parsed as
    another dependency and not as comment.
    
    The comment in debian/compat needs to come below the compat level as
    debhelper always reads only the first line of debian/compat. The hash
    marks in there are probably irrelevant because of that, but makes
    clear that the second and following lines are comments.
