Notes
[sarge] - rar <no-dsa> (Non-free)
[etch] - rar <no-dsa> (Non-free)
amavid-new automatically uses "rar -p-" or "unrar -p-",
which probably turns this into remote code execution
clamav can also call unrar -p-, but AFAICS not in default configuration
unrar-free and clamav (which embeds unrar-free code) not affected
