Did a little dive:

1. the PR has 2 commits doing different things (one formatting, one the change)
2. the change commit has a bunch of cleanup (i see multiple log string fixes)
3. there's a mix of a couple pieces of functionality
   a. there's a new setup around certificate directories
   b. more formatting
   c. changing hashing algorithms, which also led to a fair refactoring and 
introducing a couple new files
   d. maybe more (i'm seeing some new functions that i haven't had a chance to 
fully trace and understand)

untangling a and b from c looks fairly difficult, and there's still more
i've yet to grok. From a possible SRU perspective, it's very invasive
and difficult to deal with (as @ahasenack pointed out )[0]. the first
step is getting 1.5.0 into the distro at all.

I checked if there was a snap for clamav, and there's not. considering
the broad permissions it needs, I'm unsurprised... quelle dommage, as
that is probably the the most likely path to getting 1.5.0 working on
older suites. The other possible option is a backport archive build --
either an official one or in a PPA. Also likely a large effort,
depending on how much has changed in their Rust side since 1.0.8.


[0] yes I know it won't tag you, but I'm going to keep doing it till it does.
