It's always worth while checking /etc/aliases and /etc/mail/aliases
as that is the normal location any MTA would redirect mail directed
to root/postmaster.
I do run Exim on servers, but know Debian has been overly focused
on modularization/macros that complicate simple administration.
To directly expand exim directives you can get the values with:
exim -bP
It is also possible that someone has placed their own values under
/etc/exim4/exim4.conf.template or even a file under that directory that
would be overwritten by an update.
