[Pkg-clamav-devel] Starting preparations for 0.95rc1+dfsg-1

Hi again,

As you might have noticed I started doing some house keeping. I think I can get
most of the stuff done, but a few issues remain where I'd need a helping hand:

- The versioning: Is +dfsg-<Debian version> a suffix that is acceptable to
  everyone? I think (and I hope not to have missed something in my tests using
  dpkg --compare-versions) that this should fix our problem of getting some odd
  version numbering once 0.95.x is released.
- Which distributions are we going to upload to? unstable? volatile?
  stable-security? There is a recent thread on {-security,-volatile} about that
  [1], but I don't think that any conclusion has been reached. I think I'll also
  post to that one to get some more input.
- clamav-milter has been rewritten from scratch and our scripts and example
  configs might need some loving care. Quite a bit of information is provided at
  [2], but I've never used clamav-milter myself and I'm not sure whether we need
  to change anything in our packaging or not.

Best,
Michael
