[Pkg-clamav-devel] The future of clamav wrt. stable/volatile

A way around this problem might be to integrate volatile slightly more
with the main dak archive.  Treating volatile (from the point of view
of dak) as a kind of proposed-updates queue (that may or may not get
rolled into stable point releases) would allow us to have packages in
main depend on packages in main/volatile (I think - ICBW).
