Bug#823283: qgis: Disable new version verification

[Nelson A. de Oliveira]

Package: qgis
Version: 2.14.1+dfsg-2
Severity: wishlist

Hi!

While opening qgis I am seeing a warning about a new version available
(see the attached file).

Since we are using the packages directly from Debian, shouldn't the
package be patched to disable it?

I also see another possible problem with this: Debian freezes and the
future stable users will see a similar warning when a new version is
released.

Thank you!

Best regards,
Nelson
