Comment:

 This commit explains it:

 {{{

     put back -fwarn-depcrecations
     It was replaced by -fwarn-warnings-deprecations, but I think we want
     to keep it for backwards compatibility.  I'm not sure we want to
     deprecate it either...
 }}}

 So both flags exist, and the warning message happens to pick the shorter
 version.

 Just a documentation issue.

 For a newcomer: update `docs/users_guide/using-warnings.rst` and
 `utils/mkUserGuidePart/Options/Warnings.hs`.
