What are those "many programs"? On my Debian desktop, I happen to like to have an MTA running (exclusively for outgoing email), but I just tried "aptitude remove postfix" and postfix was removed without complaining that other packages needed it. Probably the problem you're seeing is just a packaging bug. Moreover having to run a cron job to remove `exim4' seems to point to a real problem somewhere.
