You should know whether the respective packages owning those files were updated 
by you (our the unattended security updates mechanism) lately. Otherwise try to 
see from the system log. Also, the .deb files likely contain some hashes that 
you can look up on a "known clean" system, because obviously if a real rootkit 
is involved you shouldn't trust information found in the system log.

The last three warnings I get regularly. Debian is a bit slower to update to 
the latest versions, but on the other hand some security-relevant patches get 
backported so I wouldn't be too worried about those (including exim).
