haha, funny. It's usually the same for *every* security bug in every
component: the distributors get the fixes beforehand, so that everyone
get the fixed packages at the same time. And of course, the timelines
are though usually, but being able to roll out working packages is it
worth IMHO. (The exception are just bad maintaned products, but exim
seems to do well here.)

Please note that I don't know more about exim than being an user, but
I have seen the security side as debian release manager for quite many
software products. And I doubt much that postfix would do it much
different.
