Yes, 2.01 changed a bunch of stuff from 1.5.  The config layout is
saner (though different) for one thing.

It was there in 1.5 too.

Ditto.  (I think those files belong in /etc/${package} even though
they are used by the init script)

This should have happened automatically.  It worked for me, but YMMV.

The scoring is different.  It is an attempt to reduce the false
positives, but introduced some false negatives as a side effect.
(also the spamphrases and auto-whitelist don't work right, they're
going to be fixed in the next release).  If you find spam that didn't
get flagged by SA, bounce it to spamassassin-sightings@lists.sf.net.
This will add it to the corpus that the scores are based on.  The
scores are constantly evolving based on current spammer practice.
