dpkg-deb: Do not warn on strange timestamps
The external extractor is only used on dpkg-deb -x (and friends), which
is only used by dpkg when extracting the control member. The internal
dpkg tar extractor never warns on timestamps, and there's no point for
dpkg to induce those warnings on the control extraction either.
Closes: #640298
