Hi Norbert,
Robert Goldman had the same request - that makes two of you.
Implemented now, please use the variable
org-agenda-skip-deadline-prewarning-if-scheduled.
To get the two-level system you were proposing, set the variable to
a number like 7.
(setq org-deadline-warning-days 30
org-agenda-skip-deadline-prewarning-if-scheduled 7)
