It is unrelated to gosa (and to smarty3, too).
Actually, it's the changed PHP 7.3 cgi configuration. This bug's log 
should contain enough information about it, see:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=918578#51

Also, https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=918578#56

contains a link to the buster manual's upgrade chapter with more 
information what needs to be fixed if upgrading from stretch.

smarty3 Depends: php | php-cgi | php-cli, php-common

So PHP7.3 is pulled in, triggering the bug, I figure.

Maybe gosa's postinst could contain code to fix the cgi configuration.
Also, gosa supports lighttpd. Upgrading in this case should be tested as 
well.
