Don't issue deprecation warnings on import statements

        During efforts to rid the JDK code base of lint warnings, it has been observed that the deprecation lint warnings currently issued on import statements are a nuisance and often uninformative.

        While use of deprecated types within methods or in method signatures can be suppressed using @SuppressWarning, and annotation *cannot* be used to suppress the deprecation warning on an import. To get a warning-free program that must use deprecated types or method, it is unreasonable to impose a requirement that all references to the deprecated elements must be through a fully qualified name.

        Therefore, it would be helpful if the JLS were changed to no longer require a deprecation warning be used for import statements.
