That's the issue I have with it.  It *is* ideal for this project.  But
it's a good deal of additional code to install.  For instance, I
couldn't package spambayes for Debian at all, because Debian's ZODB is
for Python 2.1, but spambayes uses generators from Python >= 2.2.

If ZODB were part of Python, that'd be something else.  But I don't
think that's a good idea either.  You can only include so many batteries
in a thing before the batteries outweigh the thing itself.  And anyway,
I hardly expect spambayes to have any weight on what to do with the core
Python distribution.
