My $0.02 is:

Do we want to remove all the files and leave a README instead? In short, should we be trying to maintain these files at all?

If we go the route you are saying, where did those files come from and what is their licensing, etc.?

KAM

Trunk and 3.3 contain a debian directory, which contains the stuff

2004, and as far as I can tell is currently not in any way usable.

I was successful with basically just copying the debian directory over from
what is currently used by Debian and Ubuntu, to set up daily Ubuntu builds
from trunk: https://launchpad.net/~darxus/+archive/spamassassin-daily

I'd like to wipe the existing directory in trunk, and copy the current
version over from the Debian / Ubuntu package (which is a newer
version than the one I used for daily builds).  What do you folks think?
I wouldn't suggest doing this in 3.3, except that I believe the existing
stuff is actually useless, so there would be no harm.  So I think it
would be good to add it to 3.3 as well.


The existing Debian packaging includes a pkgrules directory containing
a copy of the rules.  I'm thinking that should just be eliminated?
Maybe run sa-update from the install script?
