When a module or feature is deprecated, all uses of the deprecated module/feature should be removed from the non-deprecated part of the distribution (and, I would argue, also from the other deprecated modules).
I think PEP 4 should say something to this effect.

I suggest adding a sentence to the section "Procedure for declaring a module deprecated", something like:  "The proposal MUST include patches to remove any use of the deprecated module from the standard library."

I don't really think this is a documentation bug, more of an issue you have with the policy, in which case this is better being discussed on python-dev.

It was discussed on python-dev.  It was suggested to submit a bug report on PEP 4.  See http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2010-February/097772.html.
