The version of amavisd-new Debian I just uploaded to unstable has a fix
that I believe resolves #812325 which can prevent amavisd-new from
failing to detect viruses correctly.
Below is the entire diff between the Jessie version and the unstable
version. The change in debian/README.Debian isn't strictly required,
however I don't think it is going to hurt.
The Debian security team felt this didn't warrant a security update and
suggested we contact the release team instead.
Would the release team consider this suitable for a future point release
of Debian stable?

+Quarantine Directory
+--------------------
+
+By default amavis saves banned mail (like virus or banned attachments)
+for later investigation in /var/lib/amavis/virusmail. You should give an
+eye on the directory and clean it up regulary. To prevent accidental loss
+of legitimate mail, this isn't done by the package.
