Package: exim4-base
Version: 4.61-1
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 2.5

Hej,
priorities seem to have changed sid (apt-utils nowadays uses
libdb4.3):
ametzler at argenau:/tmp$ grep -E '^libdb4\..[[:space:]]|^exim4-base' \
                        override.sarge.main
libdb4.3        standard        libs
libdb4.2        important       libs
libdb4.1        optional        libs
exim4-base      important       mail
metzler at argenau:/tmp$ grep -E '^libdb4\..[[:space:]]|^exim4-base' \
                        override.sid.main
libdb4.4        standard        libs
libdb4.3        required        libs
libdb4.2        optional        libs
exim4-base      standard        mail

The priorities allow us to use either 4.4 or 4.3. As postfix and drac
use 4.3 I'd go for 4.3 (remember #258311), this would have the added
bonus of not requiring any changes for backports.
