Bug Description

Binary package hint: exim

Please remove exim from Ubuntu.

Rationale:
    exim has been removed from Debian
    exim (3) is no longer maintained upstream
    exim is replaced by exim4

Additionally, it makes sense to remove exim-texinfo, which is only meaningful for exim, and which functionality is now supplied by exim4-doc
