Well,
Why not to add Clamav to your minit-scripts.spec as well? Why this way 
of packaging (separate -sysv) should be seen for all Fedora people now?

Certainly it could be a hint for community to do similar sub-packages 
for all the init scripts, but it seems that that way was not accepted...

Sure!

But the problem is something like "reputation".

Recently we chose antivirus for some wide-enough network, comparing all 
pro and contra. On of a little contra for Fedora's Clamav is that it is 
"strange packaged", and actually it has moved a bowl of weights, and 
some proprietary antivirus had been chosen. :( I think not because of 
"sysv" subpackages exactly, but because of some "suspicions/fears" 
inspired by it.
