clamav-base.postinst executes newaliases if available. As exim was
unpacked already at this time, newaliases was found and executed. But
exim was not yet configured, therefore user Debian-exim wasn't yet in
/etc/passwd, and that's what newaliases complains about.

I'm not sure which packet could handle this correctly. Despite of the
error message "exim: failed to find uid ...", there's probably no harm
here - maybe it could be a valid solution to just redirect newaliases'
error message to /dev/null in clamav-base.postinst?
