You might be right. We waited with 4.4x for a while to get a later
4.3x package into testing. Nowadays, we use unstable as entry point
for testing and have later versions in experimental. This can change
again when testing-proposed-updates is finally in place.

The Packages themselves are in the pool, but the Packages files you
need to apt from experimental are, IIRC, in project, like the Packages
files you need to apt from stable, testing and unstable are in dists.

The possiblity to generate your own exim4-config package has been
there from a very early stage, I think from 4.1x on. The
infrastructure to easily generate source packages a starting points
for local exim4-config packages isn't much younger.

So you tweaked binary package dependencies?
