Where did this /usr/sbin/spfd come from?

If was from another package in the Debian archive, we have a problem
that needs to be fixed. Or not, since /usr/sbin/spfd is handled via
update-alternatives, so just setting it back should be enough in case
of an unwanted change.

If on the other hand the file was locally installed or came from some
package out of the Debian archive, then we can't do anything about
it, I guess ...

Cheers,
gregor
