I humbly suggest that the dnssec-tools package should consider changing
the name of that executable as well, perhaps dnssec-validate.  There
are many tools that could claim the term 'validate' for an aspect
of what they do.  What if 'rpm -V package' had instead been written as
'validate package' ?  Or 'gpg -v signaturefile' had been 'validate
signaturefile' ?  I know, first come first served, but it feels
presumptuous to lay claim to a generic action such as this.

Thanks,
Matt
