Roughly.
I would just suggest: deprecation(msg,trac_number) where both arguments are mandatory. Once this code is in Sage, one can deduce every possible thing discussed above in this thread from the trac number. The deprecation warning can produce the URL of the trac ticket. In my opinion this (Volker's suggestion) is a brilliant solution to this problem.
