On March 28 the patch that changed this was sent to opendkim-dev asking
for reviewers. Daniel Black replied and said it looked good, so it went

I can revert it for 2.4.0 if there's agreement that that's the right thing
to do. Or perhaps there's a standard way to get the right path from "rpm"
or "apt-get" or something, so it works everywhere?
