Bug Description

Please sync clamav 0.103.2+dfsg-1 (main) from Debian unstable (main).

IOW: it's probably important to update the package and hence the sync request

I agree that the CVEs will be needed.

But 103.2 also includes the next step in disabling safe browsing

That might be ok as upstream can't provide the data anyway, but still worth to think.

Also a bunch of other changes, but all fixes.

But we shouldn't miss that this also includes all of
https://blog.clamav.net/search/label/0.103.1

That added a few features (none dropped gladly), and much more fixes.

Now on a normal package I'd say "that seems too much for a late sync".
But we have to take into account that clamav isn't normal.
Security does regularly full version sync/backports to the former Ubuntu versions.

So if it is ok to push all these post-release, then I see no blocker in fetching all these good changes now - even if it is late. If it fails to complete/build/migrate it will still be pushed to all supported releases a bit later.

I hope you all can follow my agrumentation ... syncing it now.
