If you mean the perl script, the clamav bug wasn't even detected by
that.  I cloned the bug when I noticed the clamav bug (and friends)
having remembered reporting it earlier.  Sorry for the confusion.

Optionally?  It seems to me that this will fail in postinst configure
if u/s/d and $db.cvd, $db.cld, $db.inc all don't exist.

install -m 0644 -o $user -g $user /usr/share/doc/clamav-base/examples/"$db".cvd "$DATABASEDIR"
