Bug#486436: exim4: include tardy in build-depends

[Andreas Metzler]

severity 486436 minor
retitle 486436 perhaps the workaround for archaic tar in ./debian/patches/00_unpack.dpatch should be removed?
thanks

Hello,
This bug report seems to be invalid.

* exim4 4.69-5 builds fine here on uptodate sid. Without tardy.

* On grepping the source I find only one reference to tardy,
  ./debian/patches/00_unpack.dpatch runs tardy if an absurdely old
  version of tar (1.14) is found. This will not be triggered on etch
  and later. 

So is a cosmetic bug only. Since I did not add 00_unpack.dpatch I will
wait whether Marc had any hot love for keeping the tardy reference.
