Well, -data is data. -freshclam is freshclam. Freshclam updates the data, but 
the data files are defined as CONFFILES already, so there is no conflict at 
this level.

But thinking another 5 minutes about it there is an issue with this patch in 
that it actually makes clamav-data installation (and that is huge, 25M) 
_mandatory_, whether you want that or not depends on situation. We want that 
(hence the patch), someone might not.

Technically, there are three possible installation combinations, each has its 
valid use:
 * clamav-data
 * clamav-freshclam
 * clamav-data & clamav-freshclam

Before the patch only second one was possible (probably with the recent 
BAD_RECOMMENDATIONS fixes to opkg and OE also the first one). After the patch 
only first and third will be possible. Do we really care about second case? 
And if yes, how to allow all of three to coexist?
