A few notes on installing on Debian etch.

I wanted to install libmail-dkim-perl from 'testing', but the newest
version is 0.30.1 (which at the moment is also the version cpan
installs). So, I need to install Mail::DKIM from source, but want the
dependencies installed from packages. Just for the record, this causes
some 'not completely insignificant' changes to the system:

msa:~# apt-get -t testing install libmail-dkim-perl
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
The following extra packages will be installed:
  binutils libc6 libc6-dev libc6-i686 libcrypt-openssl-bignum-perl
libcrypt-openssl-rsa-perl libdb4.6 libssl0.9.8 linux-libc-dev
  locales perl perl-base perl-modules
Suggested packages:
  binutils-doc glibc-doc manpages-dev libterm-readline-gnu-perl
libterm-readline-perl-perl
Recommended packages:
  perl-doc
The following packages will be REMOVED:
  linux-kernel-headers
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  libcrypt-openssl-bignum-perl libdb4.6 linux-libc-dev
The following packages will be upgraded:
  binutils libc6 libc6-dev libc6-i686 libcrypt-openssl-rsa-perl
libmail-dkim-perl libssl0.9.8 locales perl perl-base perl-modules
11 upgraded, 3 newly installed, 1 to remove and 327 not upgraded.

Note: linux-kernel-headers has been replaced by virtual package linux-libc-dev

After this, I downloaded Mail::DKIM and installed from source. If
eventually 0.31 is supplied in the packaged version, I will install it
and then perform surgury to remove the source code version.

Essentially, this system has taken a footstep toward migrating to
lenny (the future stable version of Debian). AFAIK, they are starting
to freeze packages, but I can't know if 0.31 will make it to lenny
stable or not.

Looking at amavisd-new.spec, would Mail::DKIM need to be included there?

I wonder if the default for $enable_dkim_verification and
$enable_dkim_signing should be false, and then added to amavisd.conf
and amavisd.conf-sample.

# $enable_dkim_verification = 1; # uncomment to enable, default is 0
(false), requires Mail::DKIM 0.31 or later
# $enable_dkim_signing =1;  # uncomment to enable, default is 0
(false), requires Mail::DKIM 0.31 or later
