Why did you comment out / change the default pid file?

Changing the configuration file in non-standard ways naturally
requires fixing any breakage that occurs...
The Debian standard PID file is /var/run/amavis/amavisd.pid, I fail to
see why Debian needs to support a different location.
Regardless, there is nothing stopping you have changing the init.d
script, it is a conffile. You can change it just the same as your
proposed /etc/default/amavis file.
If I have missed something, please let me know.
