Clamav has been a special set of packages with a convoluted history
from when it was a package in Fedora Extras. It has many ideas that
were experimented with back then but not used later. It is probably a
package that needs  a serious rethunk. How it is started and packaged
has effects on other packages so it is a Gordian knot.
