While I think most of daks mails do have X-Katie or X-DAK headers I do
like X-Debian: FOO and so will go and _add_ this to *all* dak mails
now. Including the queue daemon. Should be merged later today.

So lets create a new standard by doing stuff. Lets define:
a. Every tool can add X-whatever headers as it sees fit.
b. Every tool sending (machine generated) mail to Debian Developers
should add a header of the form
X-Debian: $TOOL
and so clearly mark that it is an automagic generated mail by
$TOOL. Every bit more information, like what script exactly did
generate the mail, should be in seperate X-whatever headers.[1]
Unless someone cries I send a little mail to d-d-a about it tomorrow.
[1] for dak that would be X-Katie and X-DAK.

Please, not the graphviz one again, I only just finished the therapy I had
to start after I read it the first time. I'm sure this one was written by
some sort of non-human entity. I would go for lawyers.
