Very well indeed. I've been using it for years and the only real problem
I've run into was the lack of a syslog socket in the chroot. That was fixed
with Lenny/2.5.5. I've no experience with it myself, but IIRC there may be
issues running Postfix multi-instance on Debian.

Take this for what it's worth: On my "Swiss Army Knife" server, I installed
Sarge fresh in 2006 using a compact net install from boot floppies. After
the base install was complete, I installed Postfix via apt-get. I don't
recall doing any manual removal of Exim. I've upgraded the system in place
all the way to Lenny, over a 4 year period.
I currently have the following related to Exim:
~$ locate exim
