clamav:
- oldstable reference
  The rules file for has still the parts from oldstable. Shouldn't we
  drop oldstable support?

- #393258
  Andreas suggested to split clamdscan out of the clamav package so it
  could be installed without freshclam. It was dropped first due to the
  large NEW queue. What about it for next exp release (i.e. before the
  final release)?

- clamav-data
  what about the obsolete clamav-data package? It is not shipped anymore
  and last release was in oldstable. Shouldn't we drop any reference to it?

- the bigeasy branch
  I plan to merge the changes from that branch into exp around the
  weekend which should close #636877 and #636881. I am however not sure
  how we deal with the removal of the file in /etc/default. Any
  guidelines there or just a rm command somewhere?

- systemd
  Andreas added support systemd support for clamd and freshclam
  Shouldn't we add something for clamav-milter?

- check libclamunrar + havp + friends (exp build)
  if it still works after the LFS change.

- the zlib lintian issue
  we identified that clamav uses somekind of "extended" deflate
  algorithm which is not provided by zlib. I guess we should look into
  this but it doesn't look that important, does it?

- LFS
  Andreas added a fast sollution for this and I try to get upstream
  somehow to accept this. Lintian however reports missing LFS for the
  experimental build. This is interresting :)

libclamunrar:
- update to 0.98.5 while doing
- lintian bugs. doesn't look that tragic: LFS and broken symlinks. 

havp:
- lintian complains about LFS
- translate call for debconf
- there are five bugs open which don't look that complicated and should
  be easy to fix.

clamtk:
- best package ever :) One open bug which marked pending
- lintian thinks that description is too short.

Anything else that should be added?

Sebastian
