Appreciated!
# sa-update --updatedir /usr/local/share/spamassassin
Warning: This will break your installation -- there are files in
def_rules_dir that aren't in the updates, and sa-update will be
happy to delete all of the files in the directory for you.
local_state_dir and def_rules_dir are not interchangeable.
Ouch, thanks. Sorry for spreading false suggestions.

Observation and questions:
I though the rules provided with sa-update were additions to existing
rules, but I guess I have not paid much attention. Is it true then
that the rules downloaded through sa-update are a complete rule set in
themselves?
I'm a little confused about this as well. When I run spamassassin -D, it shows rules being loaded
from /var/lib/spamassassin/3.001003 and /etc/mail/spamassassin but NOT /usr/share/spamassassin/
Also, doing a diff I don't see any rules that are in /usr/share/spamassassin/ but not in
/var/lib/spamassassin/3.001003. There are a few extra files though, [languages,
sa-update-pubkey.txt, triplets.txt, user_prefs.template]. I suppose you probably don't want those
to get deleted.
