Ah, I assumed for a moment you would only build the .cvd package
centrally for the entire debian distribution, so it wouldn't make
much of a difference. I see now what you mean...

I guess packing up the entire contents of the database directory would
work just as well. Verification can be done by pointing clamscan to the
downloaded directory and trying to scan a test-file. (That's not
signature verification, but you'd assume that freshclam already did
that).
