funny, at least debian SA package does download updates at install time...
you obviously have no experience with distributions...

can we stop that stupid discussion?
I just wanted to point out that different distributions have different
policy (and also that you should stop to be rude to others...).
Fedora/RHEL don't and never will - for obvious reasons - period
and no, i am not the package maintainer but the first person who
would file a bug for *any* package which rely on a internet
connection due update
in such case it's up to the distributions' maintainer to:
- provide static rules in the (maybe separate) package
- to warn user that he must immediately get new rules or the SA won't work.
most of distributions install updates via network and if that happens, it
should not be a problem to connect to network at the install time or from
the (daily) crontab
still, i would consider not installing rules but restarting the SA daemon
(no matter if from pkg hooks) much worse bug than connecting to the network
to get fresh rules.
However, YMMV.
