They need to be there unless you REALLY know what you're doing. Those files in /usr/share/spamassassin/ ARE the SA rules.. They contain all of the rules that officially come with SA, and are the rules listed on the "tests" web-page ( http://spamassassin.apache.org/tests.html) Your 'up to date' rules in /etc/mail/spamassassin that you fetch with RDJ are add-ons. They are not the official spamassassin ruleset, but 3rd party rulesets written by community members who want to write fast-changing rulesets to keep abreast of the latest spam trends. However, every 3rd party rule writer intends these to be used as a supplement to the basic rules that come with SA.
