Well, it's not as silly as it sounds.  clamd used to open the logfile
before changing uid to the User directive, and it appears it no longer
does.  That means that the /dev/fd/1 it gets handed be start-stop-daemon
is owned by root, but it's now running as a different user.  This looks
like it is a change from the 0.8x versions.

I'll try to work around it in the maintainer scripts.

Thanks for the report.
