AFAIK libmail-spf-perl contains the perl modules and spf-tools-perl
the scripts (i.e. /usr/bin/spfquery.mail-spf-perl and
/usr/sbin/spfd.mail-spf-perl; and it depends on libmail-spf-perl).

If I read the changelog entry above correctly, exim calls the script
and therefore would need to Suggest spf-tools-perl.
