You do see the problem of depending on a particular version of an MTA,
right?  That will prevent others from running it with Postfix, sendmail
etc.  I think this is probably not going to work automagically - It's
easy enough to drop the single line in, but (think about dpkg conffile
handling here) what if the admin decides they want to run it on an inet
socket instead?  They get prompted forever.  And, it won't be turned on
automagically, since it will never be called by the data ACL.  I am also
not allowed to reload exim from the postinst of my package, so nothing
would happen at all.

No, all in all, I think the extra integration required (making sure the
directories exist, not adding it if exim4-daemon-light is installed,
etc) are not worth it to save an admin a single line of cut-n-paste.  

As I recall, the stock packages of exim4 already come with all the clamd
stuff present but commented out, so it really would only save the admin
the trouble of removing a few comments.

I think this should be closed, but if it is important to you as a
feature request, I am happy to leave it open as a wishlist bug, but I am
afraid I will tag it 'wontfix'

Thanks for reporting,
