Fixed in svn.

This one is not in the .templates file. There is no space at all after
the comma in the .templates file.

I think that there used to be a rule for capitalization given by
upstream, but I did not find that in the docs when I looked.
I _think_ that Exim generally refers to the software package and the
system, while exim means the binary.
In Debian, we had to extend that rule, so that the lower case name
also refers to the package itself since Debian package names are lower
case.
Additionally, "exim" means the exim 3 packages, with "exim 3" having
the version number emphasized. The 3 is separated from the name in
"exim 3" to make clear that the exim 3 packages do not have the
version number in the package name, contrary to "exim4", where the 4
is part of the package name.
Is everything clear now?
