I think something like this would be good:

$ tar xvfz Mail-SpamAssassin-xxx.tar.gz
$ cd Mail-SpamAssassin-xxx
$ perl Makefile.PL
[...]

The following RBLs have certain usage restrictions.  Would you like to
enable them?  If unsure, say Y.  (Y/N): [Y]
[... a list of RBLs, preferably with links to their policy pages ...]

so that at installation time, SA users are at least aware of the issues.

For package maintainers, you'd want a noninteractive way to build SpamAssassin
and then a post-install configuration script that asks the RBL question.
(This is easily done on Debian; not so easy with RPM-based systems that
don't allow interaction during installation.)

Regards,

David.
