That could mean one of several things:

 A. Packages using debhelper compatibility levels below 9 should just
    bite the bullet and use

        DPKG_EXPORT_BUILDFLAGS = 1
        -include /usr/share/dpkg/buildflags.mk

 B. Packages using debhelper compatibility levels below 9 are unwise.
    They should switch to compatibility level 9 asap.

 C. This change to dpkg-buildpackage without enough time to adjust
    packages would be a mistake and should be reverted.

I find (A) believable enough, except it involves changing a _lot_ of
packages.
