I think the common way to do this is to wrap an

#ifdef DEPRECATED_20
   deprecated_function_proto();
#endif

  around the function in question in the header file.

Distribution vendors then only have to add a -DDEPRECATED_20 to the
build of the package to fix it for the time being, and the author
of the package is woken up and incited to fix his stuff :)
