To me, things look fine.

As you started cleaning out the lintian warnings: We also have a warning about
insecure tmp usage, because of that line in the clamav-base postinst:

[ -z "$TemporaryDirectory" ] && TemporaryDirectory='/tmp'

Most probably, mktemp -d would be the safe variant. Should we do so, or is there
some problem involved in doing so? (The directory created by mktemp -d won't
persist reboots...) If the latter is the case, we should probably add a lintian
override.

Best,
Michael
