It doesn't need to take posession of any critical directory, that's
exactly the problem, and that's why this bug is duplicate of bug
#365823.
When clamav-milter init script is run (/etc/init.d/clamav-milter
start/restart), because of a bug in the script, the current directory
gets chown'd to clamav. So if you run this script as user from your home
directory with sudo, your home directory gets chown'd to clamav. If you
run it as root, the '/' gets chown. If you run in from /etc, /etc gets
chown'd.
I would think one runs the update manager with sudo, that means even if
it runs as root, the current directory may be the user's home directory.
After the package update, the above buggy clamav-milter script gets run
= user's home gets chown'd to clamav.

Clamav update takes ownership of the users home directory thus preventing
booting into gnome desktop.
