Hi Frank,
most of the deprecated functions are deprecated since more than 10 years. OpenACS 5.9.0 complains only a little louder in the error.log. The 81 packages of oacs-5-9 and the 19 packages used on openacs.org [1] are free of all deprecated calls.
What are the acs-packages you are talking about? Can it be that you have not updated these packages yet?
