In a word, yes. I'm a little confused as to how you've ended up without
the user, to be honest.
Every package since 0.69-0.70-rc-1 has used the following in its
postinst script:
# Set up the clamav user on new install
if [ -z "$2" ]; then
if [ -z "`getent passwd clamav`" ]; then
adduser --system --no-create-home \
--disabled-password --disabled-login \
--shell /bin/false --group --home /var/lib/clamav clamav
fi
Earlier versions (at least as far back as 0.65-1, which is the earliest
I've got a source package for handy) did much the same, but without the
"on new install" check.

Adam
