 As discussed in our workgroup:

 Create a function "deprecates" for a port.

 In the .orogen file,
 output_port("simple_command",
 "base/commands/Joints").deprecates("base/actuators/Command")

 will result in two output ports:
 simple_command and simple_command_deprecated

 This way users can still use the old port but are informed, they have to
 start the transition to the new type.
