AFAIK, *VERY* few distro packages contain anything from tools. That said, I personally wonder why anyone would use a distro package for something that updates are often time-sensitive. (ie: SpamAssassin, clamav, etc). Last time clamav had a security fix it took Fedora several days to get a updated package out onto the yum mirrors. I'm glad my important boxes install from source tarball. They were upgraded within 2 hours of the clamav-announce message.
