Recent aide packages have more detailed ignores for certain packages
delivered in the default config.

For example, /etc/aide/aide.conf.d/31_aide_exim4 has rules relevant
for exim4:
!/var/spool/exim4/filee[a-zA-Z0-9]{5}$
/var/spool/exim4/db/(wait-remote_smtp(_smarthost)?|retry|callout)$ VarFile
!/var/spool/exim4/input/[a-zA-Z0-9]{6}-[a-zA-Z0-9]{6}-[a-zA-Z0-9]{2}-[DH]$
!/var/spool/exim4/msglog/[a-zA-Z0-9]{6}-[a-zA-Z0-9]{6}-[a-zA-Z0-9]{2}$
!/var/spool/exim4/gnutls-params$
/var/spool/exim4(/(input|msglog|scan))?$ VarDir
/var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated$ VarFile
/var/run/exim4/exim.pid$ VarFile
/var/(lib|run)/exim4$ VarDir
