[Pkg-clamav-devel] Bug#1008279: clamav-base: Silence output to id command's output to stderr before adding clamav user

[Mike Gabriel]

Package: src:clamav
Severity: wishlist
Version: 0.103.5+dfsg-1

Dear maintainers of clamav,

I am currently working on a project where clamav gets installed and  
configured via FAI. The FAI installation collects and error from the  
clamav-base's postinst script:

```
[...]
Setting up clamav-base (<version>)
id: 'clamav': no such user
[...]
```

It would be cool to have this non-error silenced in  
clamav-base.postinst. Patch attached.

Mike
