From wikipedia:

deprecation is the discouragement of use [...] typically because it has been superseded or is no longer considered efficient or safe – but without completely removing it or prohibiting its use

In bold why it's been marked as "deprecated" in this specific case.

See README for why you shouldn't be using -S (--dh-small).
