Better.  But it can be shortened even further, by observing:

 - since this is a Debian package, the usual place to look for
   documentation would be /usr/share/doc/exim4/README.Debian.  And
   that works.

 - since this is a Debian package, the usual way to report bugs
   is to look at /usr/share/doc/exim4/README.Debian first.  And
   that works, though maybe the warning

	1.2. Getting Support

	   For your questions and comments, there is a
	   [2]Debian-specific mailing list. Please ask Debian-specific
	   questions there, and only write to the upstream exim-users
	   mailing list if you are sure that your question is not
	   Debian-specific.

   should be more prominent.

So we can write:

 Description: flexible mail transport agent - metapackage
  Exim (v4) is a mail transport agent with a great deal of flexibility
  in the way mail can be routed, and extensive facilities for checking
  incoming mail. Comprehensive upstream documentation is included.
  .
  Many configuration details are Debian-specific, as described at
  <http://wiki.debian.org/PkgExim4UserFAQ>.
  .
  This metapackage depends on the essential components for a basic
  installation of Exim 4.
