It does this:
ln -s -f /etc/MailScanner/spam.assassin.prefs.conf ${SADIR}/mailscanner.cf
But if spam.assassin.prefs.conf is modified (or is empty, of course) 
then it won't overwrite the file when it upgrades. So you can make 
spam.assassin.prefs.conf empty and put all your settings in some other 
file. Then the mailscanner.cf will always link to an empty file.
