You should use exim4 instead of the old exim 3 packages.  Then, you 
simply edit /etc/exim4/conf.d/main/01_exim4-config_listmacrosdefs and 
change LOCAL_DELIVERY=mail_spool to LOCAL_DELIVERY=maildir_home.

Once exim4_4.30-5 makes it from unstable into testing, you can choose to 
use a single configuration file and change the same value in 
/etc/exim4/exim4.conf.template, which I find much simpler.
