[Bug 74489] Re: clamav

[John Dong]

0.88.6 provides a minor bugfix on top of 0.88.5, so it's not that urgent.
For security updates reasons I do not want to make the mistake of
backporting any more clamav releases. At this point I still don't know what
I'm going to do about 0.88.4 in dapper-backports which is vulnerable to
0.88.5's fixed security vulnerabilities, and I dont' want to make this
mistake ever again :(
