Yes, I know. And this have to be thinked well.

I was going to propose to have standard exim with TLS support, and
make another with only LDAP and the other with only *sql support. For
the last two I have the rationale that usually people using LDAP
accounts won't use also a different database. But I have just realized
that though libssl is standard priority, libgnutls is only optional.
So I'm not sure which could be the best way.
