[Bug 1310307] [NEW] spamassassin postinst uses a login shell

[Nick Moffitt]

Public bug reported:

When upgrading my precise mail server to trusty, spamassasin errored out
the upgrade by running a login shell somewhere.  I could tell it
happened because it ran /usr/games/fortune and tried to use some bash
login files sourced from the official ones:

Setting up spamassassin (3.4.0-1ubuntu1) ...
I note with interest that my beloved is now partway lodged
in a hedgerow.  Just makin' all my dreams come true.
