That isn't true. The current stable Debian (9.x) ships with
Exim 4.89. And from (including) 4.88 onwards Exim is vulnerable.

Though, the Debian Distro changed to built-in default of the chunking
extension to 'disabled'. One need to switch it on explictly in the
runtime config to be vulnerable.

Please correct me, if I'm wrong.
