Thanks Ryan. As usual, you do the right thing. I'm still sad that we all
have to wait for you to get sufficient free time slots to do these kinds
of things, but hey.

I should note that the mail bot is a wee bit too simple when processing
the new mailRBL field; I did this:

% echo mailrbl sbl.spamhaus.org | gpg --clearsign | mail -s mailrbl change@db.debian.org
% echo mailrbl list.dsbl.org | gpg --clearsign | mail -s mailrbl change@db.debian.org

which resulted in only the latter being in the mailRBL field in the LDAP
database. It works when both settings are specified in a single batch.
I figure it's a consequence of the ldapmodify default changetype being
'replace'. I suppose that's a sane default, but it could still be a bit
confusing to people who don't know/notice.
