No, you want to train with the errors only. The point is that the Debian list headers are already hammy because you've received so many of them as hams. That's presumably why bogofilter is having a hard time filtering out the spams on that list. You have to counter this by training the spams so as to neutralize the Debian-list-specific tokens. Once those tokens are seen as neither hammy nor spammy, then the content of the email will shine through and bogofilter will classify it correctly.
