If you're seeing this, you're wrong about the debian packages providing
compile-time values for exim_user and exim_group.

Check your paniclog. Also, how're you going to write to the paniclog
successfully if you've lost privelege? :-)

Well then there's a reason not to do what you're doing. I don't think
you can achieve what you want without giving Exim compile-time defaults
for exim_user and exim_group and not messing around with having the
queue owned by www-data.
