This one is a bit trickier. Fortunately, anyone who has been paying attention for the past several versions knows what things have been on the verge of being deprecated and should have been prepared.
I can not think of anything introduced in 9i that disappears in 10g.
Other stuff has been on the 'you have been warned' list for a while - such as 'Rule Based Optimizer' which is [effectively] gone ... and we've been warned about that since 7.0.16-beta (1991).
My suggestion:
Reading between the lines becomes important - you will get a feeling for the new way of doing things and then need to find out if the old way is still valid. Nothing [I know of] has been taken away without providing a replacement, and the replacement will generally be called a new feature. A good example - DBMS_JOBS is still there, but DBMS_SCHEDULE is a far superior? replacement;
2) Go to the online docs and do a search for the keyword 'deprecated'. Chase the list - note that we have MANY deprecated parameters, as identified in the Reference manual, and that will give huge clues to the changes;
3) Review the Upgrade document. It gives ideas on preparation;
4) Test.
