I didn't know "time" was a variable to care about in this game! :-)

How can be that?
I mean, how can you consider ClamAV needs to be up-to-date (I mean the
program, not the firm files as firm files to detect malware are
automatically updated regardless the version of the program) and
Iceweasel not? You can't go so far with Iceweasel 2.x on these days...

Fine, but the above is not true¹ for ClamAV (while it can be for other
packages that are available in that repo) so we have here a
singularity :-)
¹ I'm a clamav user and follow both, "volatile" and "stable announcement"
mailing lists and as you can see, clamav updates usually fix security
flaws:
