It would be nice to generalize the solution so it could also handle
definitions={"Deprecated": "No longer in use", "DEPRECATED": "No

These are unique now, but after turning them into lower case not anymore.
new_d = {}
for d in definitions:
try:
new_d[d.lower()].append(definitions[d])
except TypeError:
new_d[d.lower()] = [definitions[d]]

To save yourself the try/except you can use defaultdict which is part of
the collections module.
from collections import defaultdict
new_d = defaultdict(list)
for key, value in definitions.iteritems():
new_d[key.lower()].append(value)
