I am not able to test this myself. If however you can make a version
available for testing (experimental maybe?) I can ask people to test it.

Just some extra information I neglected to mention before:

amavisd-new has already been removed from testing. I think the chances
of getting it back in are remote - however I have asked the release team
- see #856067.

Even if amavisd-new doesn't get included, if this bug gets fixed it
might help distribute amavisd-new some other way (maybe outside Debian).
