Yes.  I'll look at that.

Once I have the source package for 0.94~dsfg-1 (I assume that's what it will 
be) I'll throw it and and all the rdpends into an Ubuntu Personal Package 
Archive (PPA) and see what builds and what doesn't.  Note that because these 
PPA repositories are not signed and the recent uptick in DNS cache poisoning 
attacks I will not leave these in the PPA for people to use for testing.  

If I find problems, I'll be glad to pass the information on here and to the 
affected maintainers.  I'll also see if I can get Ubuntu people working on 
patching if needed since some of the maintainers are more responsive than 
others.

I know I'll be building on the Ubuntu Intrepid toolchain instead of Lenny/Sid, 
but so far, for clamav integration issues that's never been a problem.
