clamav is not part of the base system, does not have any binaries of
priority standard or higher, and does not depend on KDE.  For now,
please upload your changes to sid only with medium or high urgency, and
we can probably push it through to testing if needed.  If the same
changes are needed for both sarge and sid, one build is better than two.
(And using t-p-u definitely means two uploads, since clamav is at the
same version in testing and unstable right now:  uploaded versions must
be testing << t-p-u << unstable.)

Yes, getting translations up-to-date is definitely important for the
release; please don't let the buildd backlog keep you from making
necessary uploads.
