Maybe the answer is obvious to experienced package developers, but what
is the "easy way" you plan to handle SpamBouncer's frequent updates?
It's not an issue for unstable as long as you keep up with the changes,
but how is this going to work in a stable release? A badly-outdated copy
of SpamBouncer isn't terribly useful, and is even mildly dangerous if
you have it configured to automatically send complaints.
