Hi,

A couple of useful bug fixes.  Aligning to Debian, especially with a
Ubuntu developer at the helm will hopefully help ongoing maintenance (I
see you touched it as SRU previously.).

Good catch on the DomainKeys removal, rightly noted that people should
be using DKIM.  Would be good to get this out for Precise.

Incidentally, does this fix bug 761967?

FFe ACK.  Thanks.

Title:
  FFe: Upgrade to opendkim 2.5.0.1

Status in “opendkim” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Upstream recently released a feature release of opendkim and I've
  (finally) had time to package it.  It is currently in Debian New due
  to a library soname change.  It brings a number of bug fixes in
  addition to the features.  Request a FFe to bring this version into
  precise.  I'll either sync or do a direct upload depending on how long
  the New queue in Debian takes.

  I've pasted the release notes related to 2.5.0 (2.5.0.1 only changed a
  broken test).  Most of the features are either updating to more recent
  versions of draft IETF standards or disabled by default (and the
  package doesn't enable them).  The one real loss is the removal of
  DomainKeys support.  This is a minor issue as it is a historic
  protocol that no one should be using anymore.

  Upstream does not maintain old branches, so updating will make it
  easier to get support if issues are discovered.  Upstream has a
  history of being responsive with patches when issues are encountered.
  See Bug #937533 for an example.  I'm going to be helping out with
  maintaining this package in Debian now, so Debian maintenance should
  be more current than it has been as well.

  2.5.0		2012/02/29
