Hah. How so? After my remove, "/var/lib/clamav/" was still owned by
clamav:clamav. But this was on my working sid.

Isn't this also done as part of debconf? The user can be changed via debconf so
ideally it should also chown the folder. And I think we did this. Or we
wanted to split debconf from clamav-base to daemon and freshclam.
