Severity: wishlist

Hello everybody,
this is related to #802736 ("spamassassin: cron job delays updates of channels
in sa-update-hooks.d").
Since our mail server is operating in a german speaking context,
I'd like to add SA rulesets that kill german speaking spam.
I use the sa.zmi.at channel for that.
It took me about 4 hours to figure out how to configure the various
moving parts to integrate that channel.
AFAI could see there's no designated place in Debian's spamassassin
to add channels. It could be that other distros have those, it'd
certainly be nice to be compatible with other distros, but I have
not looked.
I have tried to add a "standard way" to add channels to the
"Debian SA setup". Here it goes:

====================================================================
I like to propose to add this (or some other working) mechanism to
the SA package to be able to "easily" add more channels.
Of course, if this mechanism were added, then there'd need to be
some documentation in /usr/share/doc/spamassassin/README.Debian.gz,
which I volunteer to add if this mechanism looks OK.
Thanks a lot for maintaining SA, Noah!
