I
agree. There seems to be a recent trend of Changes confusing the difference
between deprecations and removals. If something is being removed, even
partially, it is a removal, not a deprecation. As other commenters have
mentioned, in the Fedora context[1], deprecating a package entails adding
`Provides: deprecated()` and submitting a Change proposal before doing so if
it's not a leaf package.
