Unfortunately one can't just use a single word that will bring the
packages down :).
To check your dependencies and so on use dselect and do a search (/) for
exim4. On a testing distribution you will find the following:
exim4-doc-html - Documentation for Exim v4 in html format
exim4-doc-info - Documentation for Exim v4 in info format
eximdoc4-html - Dummy package for upgrade purposes only
eximdoc4-info - Dummy package for upgrade purposes only
exim4 - An MTA (Mail Transport Agent)
exim4-base - EXperimental Internal Mailer -- a Mail Transport Agent
exim4-config - Debian configuration for exim4
exim4-daemon-heavy - Exim (v4) with extended features, including exiscan-acl
exim4-daemon-light - Lightweight version of the Exim (v4) MTA
gforge-mta-exim4 - Collaborative development tool - mail tools (using Exim 4)
Note that daemon-heavy and daemon-light are mutually exclusive.
It is worth noting that the configuration is split amongst a large
number of files. This gives you the opportunity to add your own files in
each section while benefitting from Debian upgrades (which of course the
Debian package management system will diff for you if you wish before
updating each file). In other words you can add in files such as
10_exim4-custom_example below which will not be touched by upgrades.
This is initially perplexing, but rapidly becomes a very powerful
arrangment.
exim4 -bV will show you where you can file an autogenerated 'whole' file
after exim4 has parsed it.
