Right. This is because after 72c3f5e8e refactoring,
`org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown' is only respected when
the deadline is actually shown.

However, judging from the discussion of the original feature request
(https://list.orgmode.org/CAC10T-n8F+Evxf7vGcMT48R5ovoDy030AV1Cj3XyX02piF0tEQ@mail.gmail.com/T/#u),
it looks like the purpose of 'repeated-after-deadline value is broader
than just hiding scheduled record when the deadline record is actually
in agenda. AFAIU, the purpose is hiding the scheduled information
completely and unconditionally once the agenda day is beyond the
deadline.

But then `org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown' does not look
like the right place for this customization. It would make more sense to
have a dedicated custom variable for this. WDYT?

I am adding Bastien to the loop - he authored the original feature
implementation.
