Thanks, Even!

Taking a better look at importFromEPSG and how it's used by QGIS
QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem::syncDb(), I think that it will be useful to
uniform also the names of deprecated **GEOCCS** (Geocentric Coordinate
Systems) implementing your fix in **SetEPSGGeocCS** ('cause there's no
"EPSGGetGCCSInfo") too.

Just for completeness, the behavior of SetEPSGCompdCS and SetEPSGVertCS
(that are also used by importFromEPSG) about deprecated CS does not affect
QgsCoordinateReferenceSystem::syncDb(): in fact for compound coordinate
system (COMPD_CS), syncDB always use the related horizontal projcs or geogcs
name, while for vertical coordinate system it does not care of the name.

Best regards and good work.
