It isn't. However, the community (a) is a busy one and (b) contains
plenty of people whose first language is not English. You may have seen
sarcasm where it was not intended.

You'll need to consult Debian experts for that kind of comment. There is
a separate mailing list that was set up for Debian users[*], because the
'stock Debian' configurations are so very different from what is
distributed with Exim. Non-Debian-ites don't feel they can help Debian
users.
