It's not something you really need to fix; the configs only differ by that
version number --- the first is from the sendmail binary, the second is the
definition of the Z macro (DZ8.14.7) in sendmail.cf, from
/usr/share/sendmail/cf which was taken from an 8.14.7 installation and
didn't need to be updated for 8.14.8. I would imagine nobody saw any point
in a change to the base that did nothing but bump a version but required a
fair amount of change control / release engineering.

If it really offends you, you can edit /usr/share/sendmail/cf/m4/version.m4
to change it. I wouldn't bother.
