Hi, I've also stumbled over this problem in the past few days.
The simplest fix, that should stop exim4 from blocking is to make gnutls-bin a Depend rather than a Suggest. This would make the re-generation of dh_params less likely to block the system from continuing. However that only alleviates the first problem. It would be useful if the severity of bug#347210 was important. As noted a by number of other people, a build of exim4 with openssl does not suffer from entrophy exhaustion so quickly. It is isn't clear to me why gnutls (via libgcrypt as I understand it) is depleting the pool so rapidly. Users can basically exhaust entrophy on my servers just by sending a large (2MiB) email, which causes them pain because mail (delivery, submission, etc.) is held up until enough activity has occurred to generate further entrophy.
