Package: exim4-base
Version: 4.66-1
Severity: minor

openssl gendh was obsoleted by openssl dhparam. According to short
experiments, this is a drop-in replacement in our application:

$ openssl gendh 1024
Generating DH parameters, 1024 bit long safe prime, generator 2
This is going to take a long time
