How important is `exch`? Is it a tool that is really essential, and
should thus be in the "util-linux" package, which is installed on
each and every Debian installation?

I've been avoiding adding new stuff to "util-linux" to avoid
bloating it even more.

Can it land in util-linux-extra, which is at least only
pseudo-Essential? Or some other package, like bsdutils or
bsdextrautils (not the best names)?

Regarding your merge request: this seems to miss installing man
pages into the appropriate packages.
