Yes, although it's possible to include additional instructions in the deprecated file, as you can see in the code here: http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/portage.git;a=blob_plain;f=pym/portage/package/ebuild/deprecated_profile_check.py;h=2acf8e3c2e189eb76cfda2ad4743ce238fc81230;hb=HEAD It interprets all lines after the first one as upgrade instructions. -- Thanks, Zac
