+Description: disable version checks on startup
+ Rapid-photo-downloader performs a check for new versions on startup
+ upstream. In Debian, users cannot perform this update themselves
+ through the mechanisms offered upstream: they must perform updates
+ through the Debian packaging system. This check will, when the
+ package trickle down in Debian, trigger needless warnings when
+ upstream performs new releases that are not backported to stable or
+ LTS releases. 
+Origin: upstream, https://discuss.pixls.us/t/rapid-photo-downloader-0-9-9-is-released/6912
+Forwarded: not-needed
+Last-update: 2018-03-14
