Hello,
just some nitpicking.
While up-to-date clamav is in volatile up-to-date
spamassassin is not.
The new spamaassassin deprecates some options and changes some default
values and usually upgrading reqires adapting one's configuration
manually. Therefore SA 3.1 is only part of volatile-/sloppy/ (and
probably should not be part of a point release for exactly the same
reasons).
