I can not say if it would be better to do the clamav-amavisd integration
in an own src.rpm, or in the amavisd-new src.rpm.

But I would prefer when the clamav related data and deps are in a
separate (sub)package. Packaging should keep dependencies as minimal
as possible: when non-core functionality has additional non-trivial
deps, this functionality should go into a separate subpackage.


Defining "non-trivial deps" is not trivial ;), but e.g. zlib or readline
would be trivial deps, while 'perl', 'python' or other Fedora Extras
packages are non-trivial deps.
