Reinhard, this definitely should be worded better. I believe the proper term to use that everyone (users, developer, system adminstrators, etc.) understand is 'deprecated.'
Here's my suggestion.
*** THIS PROGRAM IS DEPRECATED ***
This program will be removed in a future release. Please use avconv instead (see Changelog for the list of incompatible changes).
The compatibility purposes is implied with the term 'deprecated' and it's now clear that it will be removed in the future (thus everyone should migrate their scripts, etc. to avconv). Also, the suggestion to go to 'Changelog' should point to the full path to Changelog, or better yet, some migration guide (if one exists).
