Package: exim4
Severity: serious

Building exim4 when "gain-root" command gains real root (e.g. -rsudo)
leaves the source tree in an unconsistent state. The next time build is
attempted (either with -rsudo or -rfakeroot) it will fail with:

[...]
 debian/rules build
test -d debian/patched || install -d debian/patched
dpatch  apply-all  
[...]
applying patch 34_eximstatsmanpage to ./ ...patch: **** can't open file src/eximstats.src : Permission denied
 failed.
make: *** [patch-stamp] Error 1
