*sigh*

I'll try to adapt my forwarding script to put the bug^wticket severity
into the message subject in the future.

I am pretty well aware that Debian is unpopular with exim upstream for
shipping ancient versions and for using a non-standard configuration
scheme since we need to be runnable out of the box. But I don't think
that it is a good idea to ignore bug reports coming from Debian.
Remember that we have found real bugs in the past. Please reconsider
this decision, which I am rather disappointed with.
