Yep, you usually control the release through the
/etc/apt/sources.list.

There is a apt-howto, if you are interested ...

Nevertheless, the easiest way would be to get spamassassin through
CPAN ( perl -MCPAN -e shell and so on) -- "Spamassassin as a debian
package is relatively recent, so there are a lot of dependencies not
met with potato (perl 5.6 ...).  

BTW, as Mail:Audit is a prerequisite, have a look at it as a
replacement for procmail - if you want so...

HTH,
