I think Bio.PubMed can be deprecated if the tutorial shows some clear examples of how to achieve the same functionality with Bio.Entrez.

Bio.GenBank.NCBIDictionary should be deprecated, as it encourages accessing Genbank in a way inconsistent with NCBI's guidelines.

I could take sections 9.1 and 9.2 in the tutorial and convert it to examples for the Bio.Entrez chapter (section 7.10).
