Bug#807933: Spamassassin requirements/suggestions are not exactly valid

Mon, 14 Dec 2015 07:28:34 -0800 

package: spamassassin
version: 3.4.0-6, 3.4.1-3 (maybe others)
1. Debian Jessie comes with no libdigest-sha1-perl package. i believe it was deprecated in favor of libdigest-sha-perl (?). while using Spamassassin it clearly state Digest::SHA1 as a requirement. see sa-update -D sample output below:

2. no libgeo-ip-perl (Geo::IP), libencode-detect-perl (Encode::Detect) or libnet-patricia-perl (Net::Patricia) are specified as suggested. do we need spamassassin to function or just stay there and look like it's fine as it is? that's all the suggestions/requirements i see when i trying to install spamassassin: 

root@vs01:~# apt-get install spamassassin

so after installing the spamassassin package with all the suggestions i see something very similar to the following when i run sa-update -D:

i suggest to return libdigest-sha1-perl in any form and fixing the suggestions string for spamassassin package
