 I understand the reason why you did the clamav package the way you did,
but overall your results are much worse than dag's or other's who
package clamav. The convoluted setup your package requires isn't much
better than just starting with a tarball. I agree with Warren's idea of
creating clamav-(package) packages.

 The current Fedora Extras clamav package is bad enough, I call for
having it removed until someone can do a proper package.
