Yes sure, I can set org-deadline-warning-days to 0 and never see an upcoming
deadline. However, that is not what I want.

The agenda view has two parts: (a) the time table and (b) a list of
tasks that are scheduled for today, due today or due within
org-set-deadline-warning-days. Tasks that are due tomorrow at 14:00
should show up in (b), not in (a).

What I see is this:

               8:00...... ----------------
              10:00...... ----------------
              12:00...... ----------------
              14:00...... ----------------
  Plan:       14:00...... TODO Some Task 
              16:00...... ----------------
  Plan:       14:00...... In   2 d.:  TODO Some Task (*)
  Plan:       Deadline:   TODO Other task without time
  Plan:       In   2 d.:  TODO Yet another Task (**)

I *do* want the task (*) show up in the agenda view, but *not* in the
timetable, because I do not have to do (*) today at 14:00.  What I want
is to show (*) the same way as (**), i.e. like a task with no time
specified, *below* the time table.
