Especially as this affects *dapper* only

I have feisty, and  with the backports repository enabled, I get 
~$ clamscan -V
ClamAV 0.91.1/4528/Thu Oct 11 18:04:31 2007

'apt-cache policy clamav' reports the following versions for feisty:
     0.91.1-1ubuntu3~feisty1 in feisty-backports/universe
     0.90.2-0ubuntu1.4 in  feisty-updates/universe and
feisty-security/universe 
     0.90.2-0ubuntu1 in feisty/universe

Which indicates that version  0.91.1 has been backported to feisty.

I don't have access to a system running dapper, with the backports
repository enabled, so can't currently comment on which versions are
available for dapper, but assume that the LTS policy of not making major
version updates is applicable to this case.
