Hi, Ray. I'm a Debian admin as well. However, my experience has been
that for Spamassassin in particular, don't use the .deb package. Instead, run
the CPAN install process; I have it set as a CRON job that fires monthly.
You'll find that it is no worse than using packages, and for SA at least, 10
times more effective.
