Something like this sounds good.  But how about
dropping the "use-" for the new options?
That will simplify things a bit.  Like this:

  -I, --filter-program (general 'vanilla' API)
  --use-compress-program (obsoleted alias for --filter-program)
      // remove from --help & man & info to not confuse people
  --compress-program (with a *proper* definition what it does)
