Bug#1057689: minetest: calls home for upstream version check

[Tobias Frost]

Package: minetest
Version: 5.6.1+dfsg+~1.9.0mt8+dfsg-4
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

When starting the game, it checks for new upstream version. This is
inpractical/inappropiate for Debian, as users should use the packaged
version and it is a privacy violation.
