Recovering bogofilter in Evo... how can we do it?

My largest lament since I moved to newer versions of Ubuntu is that I am
being overwhelmed by spam since I can no longer use Evolution's
bogofilter plugin:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution/+bug/1247366
SpamAssassin is slow, crufty, and (for me anyway) wrong almost as often
as it's right. When I was using Evo's bogofilter plugin it was very
fast, simple to train, and gave great results almost immediately. I
could leave my spam folder alone for a week or more, and even just
delete it unseen, without much fear of losing anything useful. Now, 20%
of my spam still lands in my inbox PLUS I need to check my spam folder
constantly as important stuff is constantly dumped there.
This makes me sad.
I get the logistical issue around universe vs. main, but this seems like
a functional regression just to satisfy a distro policy decision. It
doesn't matter to me whether I get Evo from main and bogofilter from
univers, vice versa, or both from the same place.
How can we solve this problem for Vivid?
