Fuck... some of those endless-line posters...
1) Because exim4 is one of the best MTA's
and historical it IS the defsult.
2) Each UNIX-like System needs a MTA.
> I'd like there to be a minimal install option but I can't see it, the closest I've found is the manually selecting packages and then just not installing any. I'm very used to Gentoo which gives full control over such stuff and I've been making the case for Debian at work, I'd really love to be able to control this a bit better.
Then create your customized minimal-system
apt-get install debian-cd
> Really, I've been a bit spoilt by Gentoo's control I guess, it's just that especially on a server, you don't want anything on it that isn't definitely supposed to be there.
Good look with this Gentoo crap.

I have MY OWN customized Debian Install CD's...
Oh yes, I am DebianGNU/Linux Consultant in France.
This is, why it was neccesary to create MY OWN CD-Sets.
