Previously a binNMU would get this working with a new dovecot version again, but that's not actually true for the current version of dovecot that we have. Sourceful changes are going to be required to make this usable again, and nobody has had time to diagnose or make a patch for that yet. > nmu dovecot-antispam_1.2+20090702-1 .

No, it's not the only issue. If it was we'd have headed off the removal with a binNMU request before now. Clint confirmed that the dspam backend is in fact still working right now, but anyone using the SA backend is going to find that dovecot itself will fail to operate for them if they install a binNMU'd version of this package with the dovecot currently in squeeze. So it's not really suitable for release until that is fixed (unless we dropped the SA backend). As I indicated in #53, upstream knows about this, and I can confirm again that as of today there is still no patch to fix it that has been applied there. Until we get that fixed, this package is of limited use and should not be considered a release candidate.
