Not really... The instructions are the in the Usage itself:
--------------------
RPM
===
If you are using the RPM distributions then try this:

cd /etc/MailScanner/reports/en
upgrade_languages_conf languages.conf languages.conf.rpmnew > languages.new
mv -f languages.conf languages.old
mv -f languages.new  languages.conf
---------------------
Now, the upgrade thing behaves exactly right, BUT you still create a
zero-lenght file because the Usage is printed to STDERR, and _nothing_
to STDOUT. Sure, it's pretty obvious whatwith the Usage carooming by
on the screen, but still... If you try to make all this "unattended"
or is a bit preoccupied with other things (that'd be me:-) it just
_might_ slip by (not that I did let that happen, mind you:-).
Note that this is singularly for when you do a cut'n'paste _from the
Usage itself_. So having a few words about _not doing it if there's no
rpmnew file_ might be a good idea. Specifically since this tend to
crop up from time to time:-).
That's all, no criticism intended.
