Ok, so a bit of a summary for those like me who not auto-understand all
these packaging things like racb :-P

Reason behind it is that the file /usr/share/man/man1/clamdscan.1.gz was moved 
between
from package clamav-daemon to clamdscan.

While clamav-daemon recommends clamdscan it can exist without clamav-
daemon.

Thereby we talk about #7 on https://wiki.debian.org/PackageTransition


After some discussion on the options (complex SRU for trusty moving the file, 
just adding breaks, or how to make at leas the xenial portion in a way to not 
needing re-fixes over time).
The issue is that with any new update in Trusty the issue might come back again.

To avoid this as good as possible I will prepare SRUs with the following 
changes:
- Wily gets a breaks & replaces according to 
https://wiki.debian.org/PackageTransition with <<WilyVersion
- Xenial will get a breaks & replaces <0.99 which should be stable along 
potential Trusty updates
- If Trusty gets a MRE to 0.99 we are back to the same trouble we have today, 
but that will break so much more that we don't have to overengineer before it 
happens
