Ah, yes, I think you're right:

timshel# apt-get install -d exim
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
The following packages will be REMOVED:
  smail
The following NEW packages will be installed:
  exim

I just tried the above and then exited. I didn't actually run it yet, but it
looks like it should do the right thing. Thanks!
