The DH parameters have been bumped to 2048 in latest OpenSMTPD release
which will be committed to OpenBSD soon. I need to fix a couple issues

I don't think removing the compiled-in value is a good idea.

People can already load their own DH parameters from a file and having
safely generated compiled parameters as default fallback doesn't hurt.
