Firstly, it does not look like it was written by a 12 year old, 
certainly written by code monkeys who forget the average system admin, 
is not one of them.

I agree the documentation is extremely poor. btw they are not binaries, 
they are perl scripts :)

whoah there, pull the reigns and slow up...  They didn't seize anything, 
Mark has spent a lot of years developing amavisd, his latest version if 
it makes you happy still runs perfectly fine, but Mark decided to step 
down, he wasnt pushed, he'd done enough, basically, you could say he 
retired.

Don't use debian, we're Slackware, I'm not sure where you'd get this 
idea from, perhaps the docker files that populate the package's root, 
granted, they should be in contrib.
