Is there anything going to be done with the package currently in Lenny?
It won't work at all after that date, and I've just seen someone on 
#clamav who had not clue what debian-volatile is, or that he needs to 
upgrade.

Is there a way to notify the users? (NEWS file in package, debconf 
question telling them about the EOL, and asking to upgrade, ...)
