Right.  Good point.  Does this mean I don't need to worry about leaving an 
empty /var/run/clamav on the system?  All of clamav-freshclam, clamav-daemon, 
and clamav-milter write files in that directory at some point and so I think my 
choices are to leave the directory on purge and let the next boot clear it up 
or have one of the above (or perhaps clamav-base) remove it on purge and then 
I've got another case of "removes directories that were installed by another 
package" for /var/run/clamav.

Suggestions appreciated?
