Package: clamav-base
Version: 0.88.3-1
Severity: normal

The package installs one version of /etc/clamav/clamd.conf.  If I run
"dpkg-reconfigure clamav-base" and accept all the default options,
then clamd.conf is replaced with a different version: six lines
are deleted.  According to the documentation, the deleted lines are
not merely redundant declarations of default options, so the new file
represents a different configuration state.

I realize I may misunderstand what is proper and expected behavior of
dpkg-reconfigure, but it seems to me that accepting debconf's default
options should result in a config file that is functionally (if not
also textually) identical to the config file installed with the
package.  Here is a diff
