  This is a sibling of the Clam Anti-Virus freshclam utility. It allows
  downloading virus definition files that are not official ClamAV canon,
  e.g. from Sanesecurity, URLhaus and others. Fangfrisch was designed 
with
  security in mind, to be run by an unprivileged user only.

I was under the impression that ClamAV itself now has options to
download unofficial signatures, is that the case or was that removed?

It does, but I think Fangfrisch is still a useful thing to have in Debian.

I wonder if there is any tool that generates and/or contains the
appropriate ClamAV configs for popular unofficial signatures,
rather than manually downloading those signatures themselves.

Perhaps Fangfrisch should become such a tool?

Or is ClamAV upstream interested in such a tool/config?
