is rumored to have said:
I think that the active.list file should be updated, when
there are new rules, shouldn't it?

It is updated where it is actually used, on the ASF rule
maintenance system. It is irrelevant to an operational
deployment.
I have no idea why Debian installs that file at all.

No I didn't. Please have a look at
https://packages.debian.org/bookworm/all/spamassassin/filelist where
you can clearly see, that it is included in Debian's SA package.
yes, /usr/share/spamassassin/active.list is included, but there's none in
/var/lib/spamassassin/
As was already mentioned, it's not used by default.
there was apparently come confusion what's in /var/lib/spamassassin/ on
Debian
I can only guess that the rules were not fresh enough or OP
installed obsolete/invalid rules there.
The first thing I did was to check if the updates worked (they did)
neither did I install any rules myself.

OK, after having a second look, I take that claim back. It might be
that I ran sa-update by manually myself (which works) but maybe does
not run automatically.
you should run this as user debian-spamd, or let cron handle that.
Otherwise, you will create files cron will be unable to overwrite, which may
also cause problems (and may have caused yours)
drwxr-xr-x 5 debian-spamd debian-spamd 4096 Nov 27 2023 /var/lib/spamassassin/
drwxr-xr-x 3 debian-spamd debian-spamd 4096 Jun 4 02:32

drwxr-xr-x 2 debian-spamd debian-spamd 4096 Jun 4 02:32
/var/lib/spamassassin/4.000000/updates_spamassassin_org/
you can also run "chown -R debian-spamd: /var/lib/spamassassin/" to fix it.
