Package: spamassassin
Version: 4.0.0-1~bpo11+1

It seems the main spamassassin.service file was lost in the 4.0 upgrade.

Ah, sorry for the noise, the package was split. Seems funny to do in a backport.

Should the package split get a changelog notice for the bullseye upgrade? I'd assume most users of
spamassassin actually use the spamd feature, so it being silently removed may be surprising for an
upgrade.

Thanks for maintaining the package!

backports pull changes from what's in bookworm (testing). Nothing was
"done" in the backport, it was a straight pull. Preserving bullseye's
package structure would have been significant packaging work and
wouldn't constitute a backport or be appropriate for bullseye-backports.

I guess apt didn't show /usr/share/doc/spamassassin/NEWS.Debian.gz when
you upgraded, but it's all documented there.
