libmail-spf-query-perl: spfquery alternatives priorities

[Magnus Holmgren]

Given the overall quality of the libspf2 command-line utilities - lack of 
manpages (which I'm working to rectify, though), no support for HELO checks, 
override and fallback unimplemented, etc - I wouldn't mind if 
spfquery.mail-spf-query-perl were given a higher priority than 
spfquery.libspf2, even if the latter should execute faster. I think the same 
goes for spfd.

What discussions did you have with the previous libspf2 maintainer? I can see 
how there can be confusion if at some point in the futures the relative 
priorities were to revert back.

Another thing: will you add a Conflicts: spfquery (<= 1.2.5-4) on the next 
upload? It should work if we can assume that all upgraded will feature this 
fix. In particular it could help Ubuntu users, since 1.2.5-4ubuntu1 is 
non-conflicting. Otherwise << 1.2.5.dfsg-1 is the safe bet. I think there 
should be a Conflicts from your direction as well, for the same reason that 
there is one from my direction: In case someone keeps an old spfquery package 
around but upgrades libmail-spf-query-perl.
