Yes, that's what the manual advised too.

But I find your request to be useful in another circumstance: when
there is a repeated scheduled item and a deadline. =A0In that case, the
meaning should be "repeat until the deadline".

You can now achieve this by setting

(setq org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown
=A0 =A0 =A0 'repeated-after-deadline)

which translates to: "Skip the agenda scheduled item when it repeats after the deadline."

This feature is available from master.

Thanks for coming up with this idea and for the clear use-case!
