I think you are missing the point.

clamav can be as stable as a rock but be completely useless... when
two months after Sarge's release, a new virus hits hard, and in
order to detect it, clamav needs libfoo, which is not in Debian.
What then? *Maybe* we could push a new clamav via security.d.o, but
what about libfoo?

If you ask me, having an outdated clamav is worse than having no
clamav. False security, anyone? Thus, if we don't find a proper
solution, I would vote for its removal.
