That's my experience, too. I'm not sure if Debian does (or should) require
creating an account. Sure it's the right thing to do...
Another random idea from my misguided brain: Maybe there should be
separate exim packages: exim4-local (which is the MTA automatically
installed by dependencies) and exim4 (which a sysadmin in need of an MTA
would install). The two could share the binaries and only provide
different maintainer scripts.
