well, I never said that ...
But your giving away all the advantages of a package manager, aren't you?
(not talking about the disadvantages here ... )
exim isn't the only package I use (what a surprise) and I've got more
than one box (on different platforms) to maintain so fetching the source,
compile it, watch for errors and then - of course - do this on a test
system first before cou go live with it is significantly more work than
aptitude update; aptitude upgrade ...

I'm working with Linux long enough (10+ years) for not to be afraid about
sources, however, I confess: I'm just lazy and looking for an easier way ;-)
Thanks Ted for the comment anyway ...
