Bug #819703: Disable Easter egg about "outdated" version

There is an outcry from users because the xscreensaver preference dialog /
demo / splash screen since a few days displays a message "This version is
old, please upgrade". This was an "Easter egg" from upstream, since he
is annoyed by people using old versions. The message appears if current
time is 18 months from upstream's release date.

The patch in proposed 5.30-1+deb8u2 simply disables this date check.

The same fix is in 5.34-2 which is now in "testing".

Thanks,
Tormod
