Hello Thorsten,

I do not understand completely:

If a buildd broke exim triggering binNMUs would solve the problem.
(Or me uploading a new Debian revision.) An epoch would only be
necessary if exim4_...orig.tar.gz was broken. However it is not.

Could you elaborate a little bit on the problem?

thanks, cu andreas
