Control: retitle 946834 API version mismatch in Debian stable

Thanks for the bug report larzeni. Indeed, it appears that there is an
API mismatch between many (all?) of the opensmtpd-extras tables and the
version of opensmtpd in Debian stable.

Here's what happened. The opensmtpd-extras version in stable (5.7.1) was
released on 13-Jul-2015 and no other releases were made until
07-Nov-2018 (this version did not make it into Buster). Meanwhile, new
versions of opensmtpd continued to be released. For example, the version
of opensmtpd in stable (6.0.3p1) was released on 16-Jan-2018. At some
point, the new releases of opensmtpd stopped being compatible with the
existing opensmtpd-extras release. https://opensmtpd.org/archives/

At this point, it is too late to update the upstream version of
opensmtpd-extras in Buster. I'll prepare a new upload to Buster that
simply removes all of the broken tables.

If it helps, more recent versions of opensmtpd / opensmtpd-extras are
available from Debian backports: https://backports.debian.org/

Best,
Ryan
