Hello,
I would suggest updating orca.
If that proves not to be sufficient then it would be nice to backport the change to the orca versions shipped in Debian 9 and Ubuntu 16.04. Others will hopefully pick from there.
Greetings

AFAIU, the only way to prevent that would be ask Eric to implement
deprecated interfaces. From the two options, I think (I could be wrong),
that it is better to implement the new interface, even if users need to
use a newer Orca.
