It's a little more complex than that due to just how legacy the
packaging for exim is.
I'd hugely prefer to spend my time helping you to migrate to a more
recent packaging style than writing and testing hacks to allow this
upload (and supporting that for the rest of time).
Nevertheless, this one time, if you:
* leave this package in your upload area after a failed upload
* tell me what the homepage is for exim
I'll manually move it into place.
