And there's plenty of precedent:

    $ ffmpeg
    ffmpeg version 0.8.3-6:0.8.3-4, Copyright (c) 2000-2012 the Libav developers
      built on Jun 26 2012 09:26:41 with gcc 4.7.1
    *** THIS PROGRAM IS DEPRECATED ***
    This program is only provided for compatibility and will be removed in a 
future release. Please use avconv instead.
