well, it's neither built nor tested inside the debian-volatile 
infrastructure, but outside of it.  Apart from that, please see [0].

The volatile infrastructure for squeeze will be hosted on ftp-master.  
Unless ftp-master agrees (Cc'ed) to have automatic building and testing 
somewhere trusted and installed into the main archive without a 
developer's signature, I don't see how we can continue this service.  
Technically it might work for data packages like this to ensure they 
only contain data, on the other hand, setting up a local mirror for 
clamav isn't hard.  (Basically setting up freshclam and pointing a vhost 
to it, then pointing the clamav hosts to it.)  It might be better 
documented in the packaging of clamav, though (maintainers Cc'ed).

Kind regards,
Philipp Kern
