  SA needs portreserve exactly for the reason portreserve was written:
SA assigned port is 783, and there's a risk portmap will hijack it.
Missing dependency seems like packaging bug.
  Cleaner way would be to implement socket activation in spamd. I've
looked into doing this.  After looking into spamd I have no idea
how to implement sock-act cleanly.
