(Adding on top of Marc's explanation). The obvious question "Why can't
we have 4.34 in sarge and 4.4x in sid" has a simple, but very ugly
answer: Because currently the only way to update exim4 in sarge (for
bugfixes and translation updates) is by uploading to sid and pushing it
from there to sarge. The reason for that is that
testing-proposed-updates is not usable, because there are autobuilders
missing.
