That's only part of the game. I believe updates have already worked
well with portupgrade, since SpamAssassin mandates perl 5.8.7 as
prerequisite since version 3.0. So it is more than weird if the update
process first checks if the proper version of perl is installed and in
the following the dependants are installed to site_perl/5.005 instead
of site_perl/5.8.7 when all of them also require perl 5.8.7
