Hello,

afaict all SRS C-libraries are unmaintained, dead upstream and
therefore not shipped in Debian, which is why I am marking this bug
wontfix.

libsrs - homepage gone, never packaged for Debian. (#261189)
libsrs_alt  - homepage gone, never packaged for Debian. See
              https://opsec.eu/src/srs/
libsrs2 - dead upstream (last GIT commit with actual code changes in
          2004), removed from Debian in 2012 (#661882)

Exim would require libsrs_alt.

Debian currently ships two SRS implementations, libmail-srs-perl (latest
upstream release 2004) and pysrs (latest upstream release 2010). Both of
these include command line utilities which could be used with exim's
string expansion facilities.
