The maintainers have previously (and repeatedly) made their position on this
issue clear - they will not be changing the username.

Please see bug #255493, the four other reports merged with it,
/usr/share/doc/exim4-base/README.Debian-accountname and the discussion in
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=255493&msg=7 and
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=255493&msg=14 .

Tagging the report appropriately and merging it with the previous reports.

Regards,

Adam
