Thanks very much for this detailed announcement. I found it when
searching for information on why my 'etch' hosts did not have an
updated 'clamav-data' package available, despite the output from
'debsecan' indicated a new version *is* available.

However, the instructions on <URL:http://www.debian.org/volatile/>
don't mention 'etch-volatile' at all, and explicitly instruct 'etch'
users to set 'etch/volatile' as the distribution in 'sources.list'
records. I currently have that, and (as announced above) it's no
longer getting 'clamav-data' updates.

Can that page please be updated to show how this 'etch-volatile'
should be configured?

In the meantime, what should I be setting in my
'/etc/apt/sources.list.d/volatile.debian.net.list' to enable
'etch-volatile' updates to hosts running 'etch'?
