I just invested several hours investigating what it would take to
backport the current 0.90.1 version from Feisty to Edgy and Dapper.  The
bottom line is that there are incompatibilities between 0.90.1 and
programs that depend on clamav (I tested Klamav on Dapper).  While it
appears that clamav-daemon would work ok, there is no way to backport
just part of a package.

To quote from the current backport policy, "Backports should not
interfere with existing packages. For example, introducing a new version
of a library or language stack that renders some existing packages
incompatible is generally not acceptable."  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BackportRequestProcess.  It looks like
backporting is not possible.

** Changed in: clamav (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Rejected
