:-).
In this case I think that putting them in /usr/share/spamassassin also
makes sense with the view that it is "just" data the app uses and I
can configure it with files in /etc. However, if all of the files in
/etc/spamassassin are marked as conffiles (they are) then at least I
get notified by dpkg when a new one differs from mine and I can choose
what to do about it (rather than trying to identify differendes on my
own).
