Thanks. Forgive me if I'm missing something obvious, but... :-)

Is there any easy way to persuade the package to build on a woody
system? (work like keeping production servers as close to stable as
possible). Obviously dpatch needs to be dragged in from sarge, which is
no problem, but the Build-Depends on libgnutls5-dev tries to drag in
half of testing when I do an `apt-get build-dep exim4', including the
updated libc, which I was trying to avoid.

If I don't care about TLS support in the generated packages, would
removing the Build-Depends: on libgnutls5-dev suffice? Likewise, if
eximon isn't being built, would doing the same for {xlibs,libxaw7}-dev
stop it trying to drag in half of X?

I know there are woody backports available, but they appear to be
binary-only, which isn't a lot of use for patching with exiscan-acl. :)
