I'm sorry to have contributed to you feeling that way.
I don't think there is such a thing as a "legacy contributor".
I'm not sure what your work is for Debian, but I'm sure it's
valuable.
If you are using what I would consider a legacy workflow that doesn't
mean that we think your work isn't worthwhile. Indeed we have built
compatibility tooling to bridge the gap - precisely because your work
*is* valuable and we want to help make it available to as many people
as possible, as conveniently as possible.
But, also, I want to say that it is hardly your fault that you are
doing things the way you have been taught, by Debian! I'm sorry that
our efforts to change what Debian considers best practice are making
you, and your work, feel less valued.

I hope you will forgive me this message. If you want to vent further
at me (or Sean) in email please go ahead; otherwise we'll leave it
there.
Regards,
