This behaviour goes back to [1], I think. Before that, ZNC would do the second kind of quit message. Commit [1] introduced an option called "HideVersion", which defaults to "false". If this option is "false", the function CZNC::GetTag() *always* includes version information. When set to "true", CZNC::GetTag() only includes version information when told so by its caller (seems to be: only the web interface for logged-in users). When I proposed to restore the old behaviour and instead to make "HideVersion" also not include the version when explicitly told otherwise, I was told that this is the way it is supposed to work. Anyway: Set "HideVersion = true" in your znc to get rid of the version information. Webadmin can modify this setting, but controlpanel can not. If wanted, Debian could patch src/znc.cpp to change the default for m_bHideVersion to true (the line looks like "m_bHideVersion(false)").
