While I understand the problem with the unrar code itself, it seems to me that simply enabling the --unrar parameter of clamscan should not entail incorporating or distributing any unrar code at all - the code to parse the --unrar parameter and call the non-free unrar binary if specified surely belongs to ClamAV alone ?

In which case the ClamAV binaries could remain free and distributable under Debian policy, while individual sysadmins could make their own decision about whether to install the non-free unrar binary package, and use the --unrar switch to request that clamscan call it.

If I've stated this correctly, please consider enabling the functionality of the --unrar parameter.

Thanks
