See my earlier message about Debian Woody backport packages for exim4.

The package

  exim4-daemon-heavy

apparently already contains the exiscan patch.  The description reads:

  Description: Exim (v4) with extended features, including exiscan-acl
   Exim (v4) is a fully featured MTA (Mail Transport Agent) that is rather
   easier to configure than smail or sendmail. It is a drop-in
   replacement for sendmail/mailq/rsmtp.
   .
   In addition to the features already supported by exim4-daemon-light this
   version of the Exim daemon includes extra features such as LDAP, PostgreSQL
   and MySQL data lookups, SPA SMTP authentication and embedded Perl
   interpreter.
   .
   Additionally this package includes a plugin to use the embedded
   Perl-interpreter for Exim's local_scan interface.
   .
   This package features the exiscan-acl patch
   http://duncanthrax.net/exiscan-acl/ for integration of virus-scanners
   and spamassassin.
