[pmg-devel] [PATCH installer] pmg: ensure clamav-freshclam is enabled

[Stoiko Ivanov]

This follows pmg-api commit:
cb8e149c ("d/postinst: ensure that clamav-freshclam is enabled")

the postinst invocation in pmg-api is not effective with the message:
```
/usr/sbin/policy-rc.d returned 101, not running enable clamav-freshclam
```

so enable it explicitly by creating the symlink.

one alternative that might work as well would be to use
`systemctl` proper in pmg-api's postinst, instead of deb-systemd-invoke -
however I'm not sure about the effects this might have outside of our
installer (deb-systemd-invoke was created for running in maintscripts)
