Rather than deprecating the typedefs in pgmspace.h, I would suggest to
replace them by respective macros.
That would be nice, but I don't think it's possible. There are too many
places where:
#define prog_uchar unsigned char PROGMEM
would behave differently than
typedef unsigned char PROGMEM prog_uchar;
Although I confess I'm having a hard time thinking of them...

Until such time that it can be shown that replacing them with macros is a safe
alternative, then they will stay as deprecated, as deprecation is a known safe
alternative.
If someone should discover that replacing them with macros are deemed safe,
then a patch should be provided.

IMO such macros are bad style, there is no reason for them. Style is, of
course, matter of taste.
Try
#define PROGMEM __attribute__((progmem))
#define prog_char char PROGMEM
prog_char * p = 0;
@Jan:
That's the reason why a always said that progmem is something
com-ple-tly different to a named address. Now you see why.
