Ok, in my README.exim.old, I will include:

This file is no longer included in the upstream package. I only include
it here because the new procedure does not work for exim 3.35, which is
the current version in Debian. You will also have to add the following
lines to amavisd.conf:

$forward_method = \&mail_via_pipe;
$sendmail_wrapper = "/usr/sbin/exim";
$sendmail_wrapper_args = "-oMr scanned-ok -i";
--- cut ---

and in my README.Debian, I will include:

--- cut ---
The preferred method of configuring exim has changed. However,
the new procedures do not work for exim 3.35, which is the
current version in Debian. For instructions on using exim 3.35,
please see README.exim.old
--- cut ---

I think that will make everyone happy.

Before I upload though, I have had conflicting input, the initial
bug report said I also have to set:

$notify_method  = \&mail_via_pipe;

is this required?
