I like the way this sounds, but the devil's in the details.  So I'd
definitely like to see some kind of draft policy outlining aspects
like:
 - who will help triage bugs in <package> and make sure they do not
   target compat-<package>
 - same with security issues
 - who will actually test the systems where both <package> and
   compat-<package> are installed and see if nothing "funny" happens
   and how to go about testing it

I'm fine with having compat packages living a long life, as
long they they do not hinder the rest of the project.
