     git checkout exim-4_86
     git cherry-pick 2ef7ed082481b2dccd3c2e0eae849b24bf0b172a

Then I'd pull in the Local/Makefile from the Debian build.
In my testing environments I change the paths of the binary to
/usr/local/exim/, leaving all other paths (spool, pid, …) untouched.

That way my testing version and the official built version can co-exist.
In emergency I killall exim and service exim4 start.

It applies cleanly. (Or is there some other clean way to backport a
patch? I'm not a git expert…)
