Surprisingly, after upgrading to Bookworm, the SysVinit script to start spamassassin is no longer there. This renders spamassassin unusable for SysVinit users without manual intervention. Because SysVinit is still supported in Debian in general, please revive SysVinit support.
The removal of the sysvinit script was intentional. Per Debian policy section 9.3.1, "Packages including a service unit may optionally include an init script to support other init systems". Spamd provides a service unit. There is no requirement to support any other startup mechanisms or init systems, and I have no interest in supporting the old init script anymore.
Sorry. noah
