I appreciate all documentation improvements, but I doubt that your patch adds 
very much.

If sa-exim isn't installed, the README.Debian file containing these 
instructions won't be there either. If the user has deleted sa-exim.so for 
some reason, that's rather exceptional and I don't think that every single 
package should contain instructions for how to reinstall it on such an 
occasion.

It's not commented out to begin with.

This is then unnecessary.

README.Debian already talks about this.

The upstream README instructs the user to read and edit sa-exim.conf, and it's 
not specific to the split configuration.

This isn't specific to the split configuration format, but maybe I can mention 
some ways to check that the installation is working in the general section.
