It gets installed on my machine, and it worked so I saw no problem :)

I'm not mad BTW, just pointing out that it's a common debian fault wrt to
upstream which causes fragmentation in some cases.
In this case, it's pretty safe to say that only debian/ubuntu users use
SA-Exim at this point since I got 0 complaint about building issues in the
last 3 years, so there is really nothing to fix :)

All that said, thanks for your work, just a reminder not to forget upstream.
In this case it's mostly only debian, but upstreams can't be expected to
follow bugs in 5+ different linux distributions if the core bugs aren't
pushed back to them.

Cheers,
Marc
