Actually, not really.  Packages should be able to run out of the box,
with no network fetching needed.  The pkgsrc entry -- also updated to
4.0.0 -- fetches the release rules at package build time and includes
them.  But, it does build :-)

This is a little silly with spamassassin, but the general principle
matters.  I once set up several computers not at all connected to the
internet, including an MTA.  In that case I didn't need spamassassin,
because none of the people sending mail were spammers :-) But, binary
packages being directly usable mattered.

Of course, one should update rules daily, especially on systems that
receive mail from the internet.
