I'm not sure what image was used by the bug reporter, but I assume a 
current "D-I alpha 1" image. The alpha1 images date from mid February.

Until today, the version of pkgsel in testing was 0.26, which does not have 
my latest changes. This also means that current "squeeze_d-i" images still 
have the old version.

As you can see from [1] my final work on Recommends handling in D-I was 
done _after_ the alpha1 release.

I verified earlier today that with a daily built D-I image exim4 does not 
get pulled in when popcon is installed during pkgsel.

Cheers,
FJP
