"spamassassin" is one of those packages that I was appropriate to rename 
from the "p5-*" name.  People look for and use "spamassassin", but have 
no use for the individual Perl modules that are part of the package, so 
"spamassassin" seemed to be the right name.  I don't see any problem 
with splitting it up into sub-packages either if it's beneficial -- the 
question as usual for whether to split a package or not is whether there 
will actually be a significant population of users that will install 
some but not all of the sub-packages, and whether that tradeoff against 
the extra work needed to maintain the sub-packages is worthwhile. 
Again, it's a judgment call.
