yes, either beneath /etc/mail/spamassassin when I don't specify the path and if 
I specify the path then down there. I can't see a reason why SA should use it 
there, it doesn't know of the path. sa-update doesn't add this path to the SA 
configuration.

As I said, it won't use that path nor will it use any subdirectory off 
/etc/mail/spamassassin - in that case it would just gulp all my rulesdujour a 
second time.
