Then presumably you're in the minority, and I can see why. But that's a 
matter of taste. You'd end up with /etc/spamassassin in that case.

My point was that I don't understand why you should mess with the base
install - which affects everybody - for the sake of a package that not
everybody uses?

If you want to avoid naming confliicts, I'd say it would have been saner
to call spamassassin sa-spamd a la FreeBSD, and just stick something in 
mail/spamassassin/MESSAGE advising of the potential name conflict.

Then all affected users get warned without renaming a core app.
