That is exactly what I was thinking about as well.

Yes, I'll rename it dkimproxy-verify and keep it in /usr/bin, if that is
a satisfying solution for everyone. Jason, I can only suggest you to do
the same in your upstream sources, as you will have the problem with
some other distributions, that's quite inevitable.

I'll be able to work on that issue tomorrow. Scott, are you able to
upload yourself, or should I ask my usual sponsor (that might be busy)?
