INSTALL.md lists a CMake option
 	ENABLE_EXTERNAL_MSPACK
so there should be no problem there.

ClamAV are moving towards Rust being a major part of the project.
 	https://docs.clamav.net/faq/faq-rust.html

Sadly, from our point of view, they use cpack (part of cmake)
to build their .deb (and .rpm) packages rather than a "debian"
tree.

They also use an in-house tool - Mussels
   https://blog.clamav.net/2019/12/introducing-mussels-application.html
to manage library dependencies. Not sure whther this will be an issue.

CMakeLists.txt has
 	set(LLVM_MAX_VER "13")
 	set(LLVM_MIN_VER "8")
I don't know about Debian, but Ubuntu Kinetic/22.10
has LLVM v15 by default. We can hope that 13 is not a hard
limit, just that it is the latest tested version ...
