So, either
1. Use a backport of exim4 for stable (there's at least one)
or
2. We'll just have to see if more debian users can't shed their utter
fear of "cp src/EDITME local/Makefile, vi local/Makefile, make, make
install" and stop frantically searching for a debian package.
People - especially newbies - using the debian configuration system for
exim clearly tends to be rather unpopular upstream, given the non
standard customizations that take place when it has to be autoconfigured
by debian.
