Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: dkimproxy

The dkimproxy package states amavisd-new is a recommended (but not
required) package:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp# grep amavis dkimproxy-1.0.1/debian/control
Recommends: amavisd-new

However, attempts to install this package automatically pull in amavisd-
new:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/tmp# apt-get install dkimproxy

Abort.

I see no reason for this; dkimproxy should work fine on its own, and I
have no desire to have amavisd on the system.  Why is apt trying to
force me to install a recommendation?
