There are three implementations of spfquery in lenny, all with
different commandline arguments. >:-O

The exim configuration snippet uses the syntax accepted by spfquery
from libmail-spf-query-perl. (Documented in the comments.) Your patch
would switch to spf-tools-perl syntax.

I think I will ask on d-d whether it is acceptable that the three
incompatible implementations are managed as alternatives.
