Right-on. Quite. Sheesh. OK, ...

It is very hard to find the Debian "experimental" packages for Exim4. I don't
have the URL handy myself, and posting it today might not be so useful as
maybe pretty soon it will officially enter "unstable" or something.

You can always go to any (Debian) mirror and drill down in
"pool/main/e/exim4/" and you'll get to it.

But I have a question that maybe will catch someone's eye: I downloaded the
Debian exim4.14 packages ("exim" and "exim-config" for short) and I think
there's a package bug in "exim[4]-config". There no "update-exim4.conf"
installed by that package. I cannot finish the dpkg / apt installation of
exim4 because of missing commands.
