*raises hand* I wondering, could it be an idea to have a fast-moving archive for things like SpamAssassin rules, Nessus plugins, Snort signatures, perhaps virus signatures in the future, etc.? Has there been any discussion on such a topic? That way, one could package these things in separate packages, which is made available in a separate archive, and people can apt-get them from there as they do with security updates. Just a thought.
