You imagine wrong. But this case in particular wasn't.

Almost a complete purge:

You have the old libclamav6 dangling around. If you do an "apt-get
upgrade" then it should be fixed.
We have depends on libclamav6 based on library functions / ABI. Now the
ABI remains unchanged but stops working. This was neither tested nor
expected.

I guess the simplest thing to do is to depend the whole clamav package
on the built version instead of versioned symbols like we now.
This check comes from check_flevel() and it is not exported so havp &
friends won't care about his.
Any comments?
