Hum, I don't really understand what you wrote. My main interest is to have this specific bug marked as an RC bug if it is an RC bug. For example, if the package is unusable, the severity should be upgraded to grave, so that klamav is not released in lenny as an unusable package. I'm asking because klamav seems broken to me, but I never used it, so it would be easier for someone who already used it to determine if klamav is just partially broken but also partially usable, and set the bug's severity accordingly.
