Right.
Those were actually meant to be that way, they're not for debugging, but for
telling you what sa-exim is doing with your mail.
I suppose I *could* put something horrid like a debuglevel of -1 which
removes even those, but considering that you're compiling from source
anyway, until I hear more people asking for the same, you're better off
removing them from the source in your compile
