No compatibility level specified in debian/compat

Dear All,
When i enter following command in ubuntu 12.04

fakeroot make-jpkg jdk-1_5_0_17-linux-i586.bin

The following error appears:

dh_installchangelogs: No compatibility level specified in debian/compat dh_installchangelogs: This package will soon FTBFS; time to fix it! dh_installchangelogs: Compatibility levels before 5 are deprecated (level 4 in use)

Can any one tell me how to fix the isse.

That is not an error. That will not have stopped the install.

Hi,

looks like a version missmatch problem between java-package and debhelper. I'd suggest filing a bug against java-package in Ubuntu.

Evo2.

PS. If you use open jdk then you won't have to deal this type of nastyness.
PPS. This is the Debian forum.

OK
if it is not an issue then i got some warnings like

dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: Can't extract name and version from library name `libjli.so'
dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: Can't extract name and version from library name `libjli.so

but after that i found

The Debian package has been created in the current directory. You can
install the package as root (e.g. dpkg -i sun-j2sdk1.6_1.6.0+update35_i386.deb).

how to resolve this warnings and what it means.
