Could you please explain how you are checking this? Just looking at some of the recent deprecations, graphics/peps, graphics/vcg, and graphics/xfig are still available. On earlier ones, graphics/libconvolve exists in the jack_convolve section of the heaven sourceforge project: http://sourceforge.net/projects/heaven/files/Audio%20Applications/Jack%20Related/jack_convolve/ security/libident is available via one of the main vlc developers at: http://www.remlab.net/files/libident/ comms/gsmlib is maintained by Debian: http://packages.qa.debian.org/g/gsmlib.html science/bblimage has been renamed to pyvox and is available at: http://www.med.upenn.edu/bbl/downloads/pyvox/ That's eight false positives out of eleven deprecations that I selected by inspection, and I didn't spend more than two minutes checking any of them. I will fix the above. b.
