First, I appriciate your efforts.

There really is a policy about spending time in unstable. See:

http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/ch-pkgs.en.html#s-t-p-u

And

From:

http://release.debian.org/sarge_rc_policy.txt

" makes unrelated software on the system (or the whole system)
   break"

When this breaks it stops Exim in my setup. Thus there are actually two
policy violations.

A stable version with a new version number.

At least bogofilter_0.93.1-1_i386.deb or the one before works without
crashing the db file. You have to realize that sarge is about to go
stable. Lots of people are starting to run sarge on production machines.
This didn't spend any time in unstable after the upstream release. I
think 30 days to see what bugs come back would be a starting point.

   Did you read NEWS.Debian?
Yes - even been in the news.
