Please don't. There are many bugs in older compat level that may produce debs no longer compatible with our OS. Especially around generated maintainer scripts.
It's best to upgrade packaging to compat level 13. Sounds like a long overdue packaging upkeep.

That's because the newest debhelper upload removed compatibility for
level 5 and 6
https://salsa.debian.org/debian/debhelper/-/commit/a80ba4f797
Those issues are easy to fix but I would prefer us to focus on spending
our effort on more user impacting problems so I'm suggesting we revert
the change for the LTS.
How do other feel like about that?
Cheers,
