Of course you have to support both the new and the old one.

Which is not our problem. (Developers should not use deprecated functions,
no matter whether or when they get removed, so it's their fault, not ours.
And in the end, it won't affect us at all if we ship the deprecated
function, so why would we care?)

No. The other distro has a problem. Why would we care?
