Bad idea. You may wind up upgrading to newer versions of exim4-daemon-heavy's prerequisites and breaking a lot of stuff (which you may or may not have already installed). The newer versions of programs need to be compiled against the *installed* versions of libraries if you do not want to break things. This gives you two options: (1) package the thing yourself, compiling it against the already-installed development packages, or (2) visit http://www.backports.org, which was setup to get you through exactly this problem.
