I've just reported this to upstream as #3040, see
https://wwws.clamav.net/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3040.

The wrong value "true" was likely caused by the debconf question missing in
versions before 0.97.1+dfsg-1 (whilst still internally asking debconf for a
value). If you remove this line from the config file or dpkg-reconfigure
clamav-milter you should get an appropriate value in there.

Automatically fixing this problem seems to be a bit risky as we do not want to
override a user's choice/configuration, not even an invalid one.

Hope this helps,
Michael
