Actually, this is mroe desirable, since the exim group is defined at build time
(as Philip told me) rather than being /etc/group..

However, I think that a comment that "exim group" is a compilation setting, not
just an entry in /etc/group would help when I'm suffering from lack of
caffeine:

... and anywhere else in main spec where it talks about the admin users?
