`with_items` is not deprecated for package manager modules either.  What is
deprecated is "squash actions".

More info can be found at
https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/porting_guides/porting_guide_2.7.html#using-a-loop-on-a-package-module-via-squash-actions

Before, when using `with_items` on a package manager task, ansible would
effectively remove the loop, and squash the items to call the module only 1
time, and not actually loop. That specific squashing functionality will be
removed in a future version as indicated by the warning and in the docs
link I provide.
