Correct, but the older /etc/cron.daily/mailscanner and
/etc/cron.hourly/mailscanner are not remove which is a problem as they
will run too, and they reference /etc/default/mailscanner which also is
not removed.

I believe they were in versions as recent as 4.84.x, and if
update_phishing_sites and update_spamassassin aren't installed in the
current version. what runs /usr/sbin/update_phishing_sites and
/usr/sbin/update_spamassassin (actually, for the latter, I use the
debian/Ubuntu /etc/cron.daily/spamassassin job and disable
/etc/cron.daily/update_spamassassin).

I definitely think they shouldn't be just removed. Remove and replace
seems correct, but this assumes that they would be installed if not
there. Also, I just noticed, apparently no cron runs
/usr/sbin/update_bad_phishing_emails. Perhaps this is OK as it is really
ScamNailer and probably requires other config as well.
