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.
