#5493: Non tools are given to resolve presence of deprecated functions
-----------------------------------+---------------------------
 Reporter:  strk                   |      Owner:  strk
     Type:  enhancement            |     Status:  new
 Priority:  medium                 |  Milestone:  PostGIS 3.4.1
Component:  build/upgrade/install  |    Version:  3.4.x
 Keywords:                         |
-----------------------------------+---------------------------
 Presence of deprecated functions is reported by `postgis_full_version()`
 but no tools are given to resolve that situation.

 An HINT about how to resolve the situation is given when those deprecated
 functions are created, that is on the very upgrade being performed, and
 the HINT suggests to re-define the views and "upgrade again", but
 upgrading again currently does not even try to drop those deprecated
 functions and thus also fails to report any problem with doing so with
 associated HINT about it.


 I suggest we make the upgrade script always try to delete all deprecated
 functions rather than only those created by the upgrade script itself
 (which is what is happening now)
