Debian: switching back to /var/log/messages instead of journalctrl

at work, we recently upgraded some virtual machines running debian to the lastest version and I found that the old /var/log/messages are no longer updated and I have scripts and processes which rely of the messages files.

How do I go back to have all the files separated as it was before? I did some google searchers but all the posts I have found talk about using journalctrl -- which is NOT what I want, and I prefer the Slackware way of having just one file for a single purpose.
