This is now pushed to git, together with some other improvements.
Thus I think it would be good to make another upload to experimental.

However, I noticed that clamav doesn't build anymore in wheezy: 
dh_systemd, libjson-c-dev and libmspack-dev don't exist there.

I modified debian/rules to not build with systemd on wheezy, so the 
dependency on dh_systemd could simply be dropped.
For libjson-c-dev I added the alternative dependency libjson0-dev, which 
is available in wheezy.

The remaining problem is libmspack-dev, because with the libmspack patch 
clamav doesn't build anymore without it.
Sebastian, could you please have a look at how to auto-detect whether 
libmspack is available, and if it is not, use an embedded copy?

I also noticed that the pristine-tar and upstream-unstable branches of 
the libclamunrar git are out of date. Please push an updated version to 
alioth.

Best regards,
Andreas
