No it wont, but you can add something that can do it easily.

e.g. you just add your X-Spam-Flag or whatever, and then you have a filter test which sets the junk flag if it is set to the right thing.

For this the easist way is similar to the original suggestion, by writing your own sa-learn, or whatever the command is it calls when you press those buttons.

There is no way to 'plug in' new interfaces at present, even though the junk stuff is reasonably modular and is called 'camel-junk-plugin'.
