It's debian. Their way of making packages is forking the orgininal project and
only applying upstream patches. Thats how debian works. Its not a secret. Its
even in some faq. In the event of any problems you're supposed to poke the
people who made the fork FIRST, simply becouse its a fork. This is not
specific to exim, but the way debian works. Note that i'm not trying to jugde
here if that method is good or bad.
