Sure enough.

Looks like some spamd process got stuck, and `service spamassassin stop` 
didn't find and kill it.  Searched it out manually, and got spamassassin to 
finish it's postinst (or whatever) setup and things are good.

debsums no longer reports that it is "not installed"

Ah, I looked through the bugs that reportbug suggested, but none of them 
sounded like my issue.  Next time I'll try an upgrade first; the dependencies 
of debsums are generally light.  Sorry for the noise.

Feel free to close and/or reclassify as minor.

Thanks for the immediate turn-around.
