Ok, maybe the Debian package could have been more verbose about this. But
essentially this was upstream's decision and we're not going to revert this
because the old milter was broken in several ways. If you want such things, take
amavis and use clamav as the backend. If you prefer to stick with clamav-milter,
see

for some suggestions.

Best,
Michael
