This only applies to sarge; the clamav-daemon packages in sind and
etch have the reload-database action.

... but it will unnecessarily restart the clamav-daemon on etch and
sid.
Please try the attached postinst which will catch sarge's
/etc/init.d/clamav-daemon's error message and then invoke the
initscript again with the restart target.
A different approach would be to signal the clamav-daemon manually,
but that would mean replicating a good part of clamav-daemon's init
script in clamav-data's postinst, and we would be using an
undocumented internal interface.
