Neither does the virus discussed in this thread (Win32.Worm.Mytob.EF)
included in libmail-deliverystatus-bounceparser-perl.

What's more, I guess (actually, I hope) the package probably does not
include the source code of this virus which means that it should be
removed from the package or it should go to non-free.
