Dear maintainer(s),

Bumping severity of this, like other
missing-systemd-service-for-init.d-script bugs. Support for init
scripts is now removed in systemd v260, and the clamav milter
autopkgtest is failing, blocking systemd from migrating:

75s autopkgtest [09:39:05]: test milter: [-----------------------
75s ERROR: clamav-milter IS NOT RUNNING

https://ci.debian.net/packages/c/clamav/testing/amd64/68982996/

If you do not wish to ship a unit file that is absolutely fine and
entirely up to you, but then please adjust the autopkgtest so that it
is skipped when running under systemd. Thanks!
