Package: exim4
Version: 4.96-15+deb12u6

The version of exim4 installed with apt contains 20 lines that begin with a
tab character followed by one or more spaces. This breaks alignment in text
editors when using a tab size other than 8 and makes line by line file
manipulation trickier. Replacing all tabs with eight spaces fixes this.

The Debian exim4 repo contains around a thousand lines with a tab character
followed by at least one space, so I haven't been able to track down the
source of this. I believe these tabs are also all standing in for eight
spaces.
