Hello,
I can provide you with packages with debuuging symbols (built with -g
and unstrippped).

http://downhill.aus.cc/debian/misc/exim4-daemon-heavy_4.61-1.0.0.debug_i386.deb
(md5: 1adecd15e58afe4f06d35b41bbda8871)

I thought this should work but it does not:
-----
Afaik
kill -ABRT process-id
should produce a core file in /var/spool/exim4. You'll probably need
to add
ulimit -c 50000
to the top of the init-script as core file generation seems to be
disabled by default.
