That's the point. If -M is deprecated in 4.4 only, we can re-use it for
Makefile-dependency-generation in 4.5 at the earliest?!
To phrase it differently: are we allowed to change the meaning of an option
from one release to another, i.e. from 4.3 to 4.4, without deprecating its
usage in the earlier meaning first?
