I am not really for this as the Debian packages are currently maintained by a team, which use an alioth project for this (and SVN as VCS, but discussions are run to move to git so that patches could be sent easily to the upstream maintainers). "My" unofficial packages should remain unofficial until they are better reviewed and tested. I have originally built them for my own use, but decided to share them in case someone was interested. I have however join the official maintainer team and work is being done to get up-to-date packages when (or short after) DSPAM 3.9.0 is released. Hence, for the users, it wouldn't bring anything (if they dowload the sources, they won't use the Debian - or whatever - packages). If they want to change the compile options for the packages, they simply have to download the source package (as easy as 'apt-get source dspam' on Debian, I guess it is quite the same on other distros). This would also require to be in perfect sync with the changes committed, which would be almost impossible I guess. But it could be good to mention the existence of the official packages, where to find them etc. Either on the website or in the sources (or both). In case some specialised distributions use DSPAM as the default anti-spam filter, it is worth stating it somewhere.
