This one is actually a poor example (I know there are plenty of other good 
ones).  Clamav is particularly problematic (even if it were in Main) because 
freshclam logs scary warnings when users are not running the current upstream 
version.  Our Feisty and Gutsy clamav packages are fully patched for all the 
known security issues, but still we get complaints.
