If it's decided to release Squeeze with clamav, I think it would be good to
keep python-clamav too.  The main use case is for admins who have written
their own scripts.

I don't think it will be that difficult to keep up.  Clamav upstream is doing a
better job with maintaining ABI compatibility.  If the current maintainer is
not interested in maintaining this in Squeeze, I'd be glad to adopt it into
DPMT where we are already maintaining python-pyclamd.

Hi Scott !

As upstream says: "You are now strongly encouraged to use pyClamd" [1]

So I think the best thing to do would be to abandon this package. But if
clamav enter Squeeze and you want to maintain python-pyclamav, feel free
to adopt it.

Scott, would this be an appropriate replacement? python-pyclamd is currently in testing, but it has a very low version number and not much updates, neither. (I.e. I don't know if it works as expected.) Would you mind looking into it?

Kind regards,
Philipp Kern
