Package: exim4-config
Version: 4.69-9+lenny1
Severity: minor

The documentation of exim says in chapter 40 about the message modifiler:

"For compatibility with previous releases of Exim, a message modifier that is used with a warn verb 
behaves in a similar way to the add_header modifier, but this usage is now deprecated. However, message 
acts only when all the conditions are true, wherever it appears in an ACL command, whereas add_header acts 
as soon as it is encountered. If message is used with warn in an ACL that is not concerned with receiving 
a message, it has no effect."

This message modifier can be found in the exim4-config package in 
/etc/exim4/conf.d/acl/40_exim4-config_check_data

That should be changed to add_header.
