The latter.

I'm running debian, so the above pretty much consisted of typing the
command "apt-get install spamassassin".

Write a filter rule along the lines:
  - IF pipe through "spamc -c" returns 1
    AND pipe through "bogofilter -s" returns 0 THEN
       - move to Spam folder, stop processing

The bogofilter rule is not mandatory, of course, but this is a handy way
to automatically train bogofilter (at least in the beginning, when
bogofilter itself doesn't know spam from tinned pork).
