it's still around for lenny and that's what all the on-list questions are
about.  The archive won't be shut down before EOL.

clamav updates in squeeze should be done through -security or, if they're
non-security new upstream versions, through -proposed-updates (get the approval
from the SRMs first).  If it's time critical we can do a speedy push
through squeeze-updates (which is what replaces volatile).
