Actually a 'sometimes' bigger issue is the choice between (*BSD 'ports' example) exim exim-postgresql The first would leave-out the needed interface to utilize PostgreSQL. The second has been known to want to not just build the interface, but actally install a different version of postgresql than what is already running. Sort of thing hardly restricted to Exim, and a RPITA if not caught in time.
