Afaiui:
volatile: apt-get upgrade from sarge should just work (even
noniteractively), i.e. no changes to configuration required.
And the new spamassassin does not seem to match this criterium. Imho
trying to cherrypick some tests from spamassassin 3.1 and generating a
spamassassin-3.0+enhancedfordebian is not sensible. (fork=massive
work). Therefore sloppy seems to be the correct target.
