Re (B): a deprecation warning is normally a message to the user that
they should start to do things in a different way, as the old way will
stop working. This does not seem appropriate here, since it is not the
user who is expected to change behaviour (unless you regard all users as
developers!). So rather than a deprecation warning as such why not a
message saying
"OLDSTYLEPACKAGE is no longer supported by SageMath; if it was
important for your work, please contact <sage-support?> with a request
to upgrade the package."
I think the wording is just a detail and not relevant for this vote, so
you can think of option (B) as: display some kind of message and just
install the package.
Anyway, the proposed wording in #19158 is
You are about to download and install an old-style package. While this
might still work fine, old-style packages are unmaintained and deprecated.
This package will be removed in future versions of SageMath. If you care
about this package, you should make a proper new-style package instead.
