A perfect followup bug to this change in 4.71-4: :-O

  * Invoke spfquery as spfquery.mail-spf-query-perl. There are three different
    implementations of spfquery in Debian, with incompatible commandline
    switches and different exit codes. Closes: #573956

Tomorrow.

Is either of libmail-spf-perl/spf-tools-perl prefered or better?

thanks for the pointing out the issue, cu andreas
