I think the German to English messed up... or maybe just the German to "American" ?
Check out http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=deprecated ... this is what I was thinking when I read what you had written, so therefor the ?????
I guess the best "American" word would be seen at http://thesaurus.reference.com/search?q=obsolete

I just looked further down on the http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=deprecated page and there it is... deprecated
Said of a program or feature that is considered obsolescent
and in the process of being phased out, usually in favour of a
specified replacement. Deprecated features can,
unfortunately, linger on for many years. This term appears
with distressing frequency in standards documents when the
committees writing the documents realise that large amounts of
extant (and presumably happily working) code depend on the
feature(s) that have passed out of favour.
I just have not heard it used in common verbage that way, and since "self - deprecating" is a most often (maybe only) day-to-day heard use of a form of deprecate, I was just thrown off a little. I'm just glad key words in programming languages don't have as many different meanings as many words do in the English (American) language .

Obsolete is quite ok with me
