Matt, I can't thank you enough -- this is great. (Our company runs on Org Mode, so this will help more free software hackers than just me :-) .)
The core trick is obviously "(org-entry-get nil \"DEADLINE\")". I knew about embedding a Lisp expression into the format string, but didn't know about that particular function -- now that I know it exists, I suspect we'll be using it a lot. And the "(org-agenda-skip-entry-if 'notdeadline)" part saves us a bunch of custom code too.
This is the best kind of solution: it solved the immediate problem and gives us infrastructure for solving future problems as well.
Thanks!
-Karl
