A nice way of doing the deprecation part, IMO, would be to use
call-with-deprecation like this:

(define-module (ice-9 srfi-8)
  ...)

(call-with-deprecation
  "The (ice-9 srfi-8) module is deprecated; please use (srfi srfi-8)
  instead."
  noop)

This way, we can grep for call-with-deprecation to find deprecated
stuff.
