Yes, intentionally. Often the one installed by user is fresher that
the one bundled with a system. But this is under user's control,
the default $path variable in amavisd is empty, it is always
explicitly assigned to in amavisd.conf, e.g.

$path = '/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin';

If file(1) gives wrong result, it needs to be fixed or replaced.
I doubt there is anything in amavisd in this regard.
