Something that needs to be remedied!

Certainly:
I added the deb-src line (only) for Unstable to /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb-src http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ unstable main non-free contrib
apt-get build-dep <packagename> made sure it had everything it required
to build the package.
apt-get source --build <packagename> will get the latest source it can
find (from unstable) and build it against your current installation.
There were still one or two dependencies that I had to fix by hand -
Edit the file "<packagedir>/debian/control".
I also did the same for Razor 2.55.
Hope this is enough to get you going!
Side Note:
I have Debian packages for Spamassassin 2.55 and Razor 2.22 available
here:

Tested and working on two of my servers - Not responsible if they break
anything!
