I only know how this went for lenny.
Lenny shipped with a clamav version (0.94) different than the one
available at lenny's volatile repo (0.97) and AFAICT, this was how it
worked: volatile repo was aimed to get upgrades for a small set of
packages that changed from time to time (like clamav, SA or tzdata) but
this upgrades were in paralel from the ones coming from stable branch,
that is, you can be running lenny with either clamav packages (stock
ones, 0.94 or volatile, 0.97).
Indeed, I asked the same question here not much ago:
ClamAV update to 0.97
http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2011/02/msg01759.html
I'm still with lenny (now oldstable) but I was even told that not all
security flaws reached votatile, just some, depending of the nature of
the flaw...
And again, if this policy has recently changed is more than very welcome,
my clamav is also claiming for an update and oldstable is still supported.
