Debian has historically been ultra-conservative on the potential License
compatibility issues between GPL (Exim) and the OpenSSL license:
https://people.gnome.org/~markmc/openssl-and-the-gpl.html
IMHO, Debian's caution is excessive. They're make OpenSSL available
with the OS, as a debian package. OpenSSL is not bundled with Exim,
(though Exim might on some systems just happen to be first package
installed that has OpenSSL as a dependency) nor is the OpenSSL used
by Exim a dedicated build that accompanies Exim and not other Debian
programs that use OpenSSL.
My opinion is of course unlikely to sway Debian one way or other, IANAL.
