This policy is even not ok for a normal major debian upgrade. We have
exim and exim4, we have inn and inn2 for exactly that reason, and we should
also provide spamassassin and spamassassin3. This doesn't mean that
spamassassin3 shouldn't be added to volatile.debian.net, but it
definitly means that we should not break api by providing it as
spamassassin.
