This has been fixed in Sid.

Your options right now:

1) Wait for the current Sid version to come to Lenny. This will happen
three days from now, unless there is another upgrade of the package
in Sid in the meantime.

2) Grab the relevant Sid packages and install them right away. (I think
this should work, but I cannot guarantee it.)

3) Try to fix /etc/init.d/exim4 yourself. I have included the diff
between the broken version 4.69-2+b1 and the fixed version 4.69-5+b1
below. It should be possible to use this diff to patch ("man patch")
the initscript. (Again, I think this should work, but I cannot
guarantee it.)

I can wait 3 days. Since I'm not a mail server, it really is more of a bother
than a major issue, at least for me.
thanks for the info and the options, I take door #1 !
I'm just happy to have my sound working again, Lenny working again.. life is
good:)
