Disable the deprecateded notifications in the system settings. Like
this you acknoledge that you use outdated code; and if this gets too
annoying you might want to actually fix it.

Ideally the deprecated notification debugger could allow you to
disable further warnings. However deprecated warnings should always be
turned on in downloaded images, otherwise we can as well remove them.
