I looked at dnsrecon once more and found one minor thing that you
should probably fix before the upload:  The man page is a bit outdated
and misses some of the options, e.g. --json, so you should update it.

Otherwise I think it's ready for upload.  Ideas for the future:
* The changelog indicates it's python3 compatible now, so you can
  consider changing the packaging to use python3
* I still think that patching dnsrecon.py to find the lib module
  in /usr/share/dnsrecon and installing it directly to /usr/bin/dnsrecon
  is better than the helper script.  Using absolute paths is usually a
  bit awkward and the interactive usage does not give any indication
  that absolute paths are required.

Regards
Lukas
