That is wrong path (fallback path user in case your machine never has Internet connectivity
so can't run sa-update). Debian auto-updated rules live in /var/lib/spamassassin, and
values there those override those in /usr/share/spamassassin (just as those in 
/etc/spamassassin override both of them, and those in ~/.spamassassin override those too)

E.g. something like this (with different SA version, depending on Debian version; 
this example is for oldoldstable AKA Bullseye to show which rules are set to zero even there):

# egrep -r "^score.*RCVD_IN_V" /var/lib/spamassassin
/var/lib/spamassassin/3.004006/updates_spamassassin_org/72_scores.cf:score RCVD_IN_VALIDITY_CERTIFIED_BLOCKED    0.001 0.001 0.001 0.001
/var/lib/spamassassin/3.004006/updates_spamassassin_org/72_scores.cf:score RCVD_IN_VALIDITY_RPBL_BLOCKED         0.001 0.001 0.001 0.001
/var/lib/spamassassin/3.004006/updates_spamassassin_org/72_scores.cf:score RCVD_IN_VALIDITY_SAFE_BLOCKED         0.001 0.001 0.001 0.001
/var/lib/spamassassin/3.004006/updates_spamassassin_org/50_scores.cf:score RCVD_IN_VALIDITY_CERTIFIED 0
/var/lib/spamassassin/3.004006/updates_spamassassin_org/50_scores.cf:score RCVD_IN_VALIDITY_SAFE 0
/var/lib/spamassassin/3.004006/updates_spamassassin_org/50_scores.cf:score RCVD_IN_VALIDITY_RPBL 0
