Nothing I can think of. I don't know how dependencies are determined; the
only stuff I added was a new script that also wants perl-DBI and perl-DBD,
but that's not a new thing. Certainly none of the autoconf or automake
stuff refer to those things.

That would be too bad...

You could extract from git a complete diff between rel-opendkim-2-6-7 and
the end of the "develop" branch to see if you spot anything, but nothing
comes to mind.

How does it decide on dependencies anyway?
