[ubuntu-server] Stable Release Update for Spamassassin

[Eric Hammond]

Scott:

Thanks for the notice.  I hadn't heard this anywhere else.

I added the following to my spamassassin prefs as a workaround:

  score FH_DATE_PAST_20XX 0

When I get a bit more time, I'll test -proposed.  Do you know when this
might get into -updates?
