Currently, Nullius Momenti modpack (https://mods.factorio.com/mod/nullius-momenti-modpack) is not possible to install, because some of the dependant mods have been deprecated. But the deprecation only matters for factorio 2.0, as these mods still are useful for 1.1

One idea I have is to add "Since Factorio Version" field for the mod deprecation, so that it wouldn't break older mods and modpacks

here is the list of 409 mods and modpacks which cannot be currently installed with dependencies in versions <= 1.1 of factorio because of this issue: https://github.com/Shadlock0133/factori ... broken.txt

I thought the whole purpose of marking a mod deprecated was so that it doesn't show up in search but can still be synced to saves that use it. It would make sense for deprecated mods to also be downloaded when they are required dependencies of non-deprecated mods.

In this case, I believe the author was wrong to mark https://mods.factorio.com/mod/FuelTrainStop as deprecated. They rightly did not publish a release for 2.0, so it won't show up in any searches for 2.0 mods. In 1.1 the functionality is still needed. You don't need to mark a mod deprecated simply because you stopped maintaining it
