the same issues apply when running on debian, that's why you have to add 
clamav into amavis group. 

But that doesn't explain why clamd is called via clamdscan instead of 
talking to clamav socket directly as before. I can guess to avoid 
implementing clamav protocol.

However the change does not make big difference, clamdscan is ~250K 
installed on debian.
