The Debian package of Exim does not use '-d' any more.

eximconfig _both_ in the version of Exim you reported the bug and
the version in woody generates a procmail_pipe-transport that looks
like this:

procmail_pipe:
  driver = pipe
  command = "/usr/bin/procmail"
  return_path_add
  delivery_date_add
  envelope_to_add
# check_string = "From "
# escape_string = ">From "
  suffix = ""

As I am no DD yet I'll tag the bug as fixed instead of closing it,
please do it yourself.
