That should just have your site-wide config, not a full set of rules.

Standard with the install.

From sa-update.

I don't know why you put any standard files in /etc/mail/spamassassin at all,
so they can go (just leave your own configs in there).  Leave
/usr/share/spamassassin, that's the default rules that come with the SA
install (good if you don't use sa-update, or something wipes the sa-update
dir, or ...)

Only the last version of any specific rulename gets used.
