New issue by chloris-pale-green on void-packages repository

https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/38036

Description:
### Is this a new report?

Yes

### System Info

Void 5.18.9_1 x86_64 GenuineIntel uptodate rFFFFFFFF

### Package(s) Affected

opendkim-2.10.3_12

### Does a report exist for this bug with the project's home (upstream) and/or another distro?

_No response_

### Expected behaviour

The package should include all necessary dependencies to execute all of its binaries and scripts. `opendkim-genkey` should run without further user intervention.

### Actual behaviour

`opendkim-genkey` requires `perl` interpreter and does not run without it. `perl` is not a dependency of the package, though.

It can be easily verified that `/usr/bin/opendkim-genkey` is a Perl script.

### Steps to reproduce

1. Install package `opendkim`
2. Make sure no `perl` interpreter is available
3. Try to run `/usr/bin/opendkim-genkey`

Comment:
I tried to test out building opendkim with the perl dependency, but it seems there's something wrong with opendkim's build config and configure can't find strlcat/strlcpy and fails (with or without perl)

@tranzystorek-io I can confirm that. I get these errors in build stage `=> opendkim-2.10.3_12: running do_configure ...` (some additional OK lines included):
```

I added `depends="perl"` to the template, but I don't think it actually matters considering that error.

turns out configure also tries to link `-lmd` so `libmd-devel` had to be added to makedepends

I run it once when I configure a new mail server, which is not that often.
