Package: exim
Version: 3.36-14
Severity: critical

automatic installations fail because 
read -p 
is called after displaying the 'exim 3.x is obsolete' message in
postinst _without_ checking for DEBIAN_FRONTEND="noninteractive".
this makes the whole machine wait during the installation and thus
renders the system unusable
