Just to be sure: You're not talking about any kind of regression, are you? Of
course, almost everybody wants to run the -volatile version of clamav (and so do
I, so I can't really comment on that issue). Still, we're formally supporting
the package in etch and thus also provide security fixes as the are deemed
necessary. If the security team perfers to stop support for clamav, which has
kept you guys quite busy (that upload would be etch16, after all), so be it.

Best,
Michael

PS.: Updated packages for unstable and volatile are in the works.
