Dear maintainers of clamav,

I am currently working on a project where clamav gets installed and
configured via FAI. The FAI installation collects and error from the
clamav-base's postinst script:

```
[...]
Setting up clamav-base (<version>)
id: 'clamav': no such user
[...]
```

It would be cool to have this non-error silenced in
clamav-base.postinst. Patch attached.

Mike

Attached is a similar fix we're applying in Ubuntu, except it uses
getent rather than id, which seems to be a typical way for solving this
type of need.

Adding the user changed, this was fixed as a result of that.
