PS: there are also other ways to go.
For example, if there's some kind of boot-time startup script, it
would be fairly trivial to insert,

if [ ! -f /var/path/file.db ] ; then
  echo NOTICE: no seed file present. Copying in failsafe file $FILEDB
  cp $FILEDB /var/path/file.db
fi



Contrariwise, other people have commented that most people will want
to run "freshclam" as the first thing they do. That would create the
appropriate file(s).

So instead, the boot-time script, could take the file not being there,
as a sign that the user wants to have the software "installed", but
not activate it yet.
