Add this to your sources.list:
deb-src http://http.us.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free
On a woody machine, do the following:
apt-get build-dep exim4
apt-get source exim4
cd exim4-<version>
fakeroot debuild -us -uc
(If you're doing this as root, you don't need to do the fakeroot bit.)
With some luck it will build and you'll be good to go. If not, there are
usually easy workarounds.
Take care,
Dale
