It is just the way I have been doing it for years - adding the sa-exim files to the new source directories and then building it. Our Exim config file has evolved over years so the thought of learning a new system did not appeal to me.
BTW, once all the dependencies were in place on Ubuntu server the building of Exim was very easy.
