Also, it's written in the python policy to do so:
https://wiki.debian.org/Python/Policy
"Another note: if there is a debian/pycompat file, you must launch
dh_python after dh_pysupport, but the recommended way is to remove
that file."

Checked in dh-python2 and 3 and I don't see how this could be an
issue. As Scott said, if that breaks any of the 18 packages, that
would probably be a bug or that the package needs to be updated to use
a supported build system.
