Adding deprecation info directly into the eclass file feels wrong to me. 
(Eclasses are free software after all and can be reused - ok, nobody will 
ever do that, but we're talking theory here - so we shouldn't put Gentoo 
policy in there.)

What about /usr/portage/profiles/deprecated_eclasses looking like

old_eclass_1,old_eclass_2:new_eclass_1,new_eclass_2

indicating that the old_eclasses have been deprecated by the new_eclasses. 
Having multiple eclasses deprecated by multiple eclasses may not be that 
common, but this kind of syntax allows for some grouping of related eclasses 
being replaced together.
