Re: Updating scanners and filters in Debian stable (3.1)

f-prot-installer downloads both the scanner engine as well as virus
definitions from the vendor's FTP site. However, if they decide to
change FTP location, the layout of their tarballs or their own update
script, the installer will break. Would this warrant an update to stable?
For me this looks if this way of getting updates (e.g. download from
internet) is somehow not suitable for a large enterprise roll-out where
some machines might not even have access to the public internet. There
should be a different standard debian way to allow our users to update
their stable boxes!
BTW, why not declare bugs like outdated (virus-) scanner and filter
signatures, etc. as security or important issues? This would allow
regular "security updates" for those packages this thread primary refers to.
