How does it "spew".  Any warning about a particular deprecated
function should only be issued at most once per session (unless you
clear the deprecated function, in which case the warning should be
printed again the first time you run the function again after clearing
it).

In any case, you can turn off all the deprecated function warnings
with

  warning off Octave:deprecated-function

Jaroslav already explained his reason for reverting the behavior.  I
don't think it is reasonable to expect any guarantees about features
that have been introduced in the current development sources.  Also,
dmult is just a .m file.  If you don't like the version in the
deprecated directory, then grab the version you did like, and use
that, at least until the diag x sparse operations can be fixed.  Or
just add the operations you need.  So, I think you have a few
different options here to solve this problem you are having.

Spewing how?  Care to give an example?

What's the problem?  Maybe if you reported the trouble you are having,
or posted your code, someone could help you.
