This is not the correct way to do it.  /dev/shm is a special namespace
for SysV shared memory, you shouldn't use that.  You should mount a
tmpfs elsewhere and run amavis in that.  That will also allow you to
limit the maximum memory used for SysV shared memory (/dev/shm) and
amavis (the other tmpfs) separately.

I do that too, BTW :-)

I add tmpfs instances especially for amavisd-new, holding its work
directory.   Right now, I don't place the DB in tmpfs because I am
still not sure if I want persistence on that or not.  You just add
the proper entries in /etc/fstab, and remember to set the mount
options to give the proper owner (amavis) and access permissions.

And doing it right like the above doesn't cause issues on boot, and
needs no dpkg-statoverride changes.

I just punt the amavisd-new "tmp" workdir to tmpfs, btw.  The rest
stays on disk, so one doesn't have to create them manually on the
initscript.
