Under the heading "How To Deprecate", second paragraph, it says:

(quote)The compiler suppresses deprecation warnings if a deprecated compilation unit uses a deprecated class, method, or field. (endquote)

According to JLS3 9.6.1.6, the granularity is "same outermost class". A warning will not be generated if a class calls or overrides a deprecated item in the same outermost class.
