I've reviewed the diff and it looks reasonable to me, but of course
we're still blocked by the absence of t-p-u autobuilders.  At present,
it seems entirely possible that the proposed d-i test candidate will
become available before the exim4 t-p-u upload will be built on all
architectures.

If this test candidate includes an updated debootstrap which installs
libgnutls11 as part of the base system (debootstrap 0.2.42 or later), I
would suggest that exim4 could be updated directly from unstable instead
assuming there are no other changes in unstable that would be
problematic for the release.  This would also let us remove libgnutls10
from base in RC2, which is desirable in its own right.

Joey, do you think this is doable?

Thanks,
