deboostrap does not cleanup the environment before jumping into
TARGET. The most noticeable effect is broken locales:

perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
        LANGUAGE = (unset),
        LC_ALL = (unset),
        LC_CTYPE = "de_DE",
        LANG = "C"
    are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").


debootstrap should kill locale settings and maybe just start with a
fresh environment (and provide an option to keep vars set) just like
debuild does.

Earlier today I enabled SpamAssassin filtering for all mail sent to the BTS.
Procmail and SpamAssassin have recently been installed into owner@bugs mail,
were we have monitored their progress and hit rate.

Last sunday, I enabled SpamAssassin filtering on a copy of all mail sent to
the BTS.  30% of the mail sent to the BTS(at least the mail that enters the
receive script) is spam, and of that, there were no false hits(at least with a
quick glance at the files).

With such high numbers(and such a good success rate), I have decided to not
wait a week for more data, but to roll it out now.

Also, Colin Watson has made a script to make it easy for us to edit .log
files(the file that stores the mails sent to a bug).  If some bug has spam
already inside it, then please send a mail to owner@bugs, asking for it to be
fixed.
