[Pkg-clamav-devel] OK, is it just me?

In the absence of a better plan presenting itself, this is what I've gone
ahead and done.  I've also merged into volatile, so the two branches are
basically in sync now, modulo normal changelog differences.  An upload
to volatile is underway.  Luk is looking at getting 0.93.3 unblocked and
migrated to testing (hopefully :), and once it does, we can upload 0.94.
There is a soname change in libclamav, so we'll need to start working
on making sure the rdepends still build and work.

Scott, I know you work on klamav - can you take a look at that?  For the
rest, here's a dd-list:

Cédric Delfosse <cedric at debian.org>
   python-clamav

Jonas Genannt <jonas.genannt at capi2name.de>
   php-clamavlib

Bart Martens <bartm at debian.org>
   gurlchecker

Rene Mayrhofer <rene.mayrhofer at gibraltar.at>
   havp

Alexander Wirt <formorer at debian.org>
   dansguardian

It would be nice if we could either work with those maintainers, or
bring them into the team and maintain the packages collectively - this
sort of thing happens every other release of clamav, it seems, so it
would be nice to be able to have a sensible workflow.

Does someone feel like volunteering to start checking the affected
packages?  Or contacting the maintainers to let them know there are
changes coming?

Cheers,
