This removal seems to have happened when we took over the release
engineering process from the exiting team.

We have been building the release tarballs with the projects dist
target, which should pull in the required bits for a complete build.
Having checked this today, I can confirm that the contrib directory is
not supposed to be packaged in the distribution files according to the
build system.

I will start a discussion about the contrib directory and follow up on
this list with the outcome.

The init scripts where removed from the repository in 2009:

The removal of the init scripts is noted in the ChangeLog as you can
see from the commit referenced above.

As init scripts are highly platform dependent they are usually
maintained by the package maintainers for the platforms rather than by
the project.  You should take a look at the ClamAV packages for your
platform and use their init scripts.
