ubuntu uses postfix, so thats what ubuntu-base installs by default, its
only important that ubuntu-base is once installed in the upgrade
process. it wont purge your existing exim configuration, so you can
safely reinstall exim after the upgrade (which indeed will remove the
ubuntu-desktop metapackage again).
