I think its basic manners/commonsense to tell people where you are, whats going on, put an out of office reply - if you can't get basics right - what chance do you have managing more complex things.
If you are 100% certain that the department is in trouble, I would voice that. I wouldn't call anyone out, but I would make them aware of the inefficiencies within your division. The whole point of an exit interview is to see if there is anything they could have done better. Its in their best interest that you are honest. Just dont **** anyone off which is why I say you shouldn't use any names.
Oops! I told the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth at my exit interview. Seriously, I didn't know it was kinda taboo.
Well, it probably doesn't matter much. All in all, they probably won't take too much heed of what you said. Granted, you will probably never have another opportunity to work there as long as the same management is in place, but then again, why would you want to? You left after all.

Kinda what I'm thinking. I'd probably be very political about it and say something like "Thank you for the opportunity. I have decided to pursue other career interests at this time." Period.
Look at it this way, the fact that you're not telling them exactly why you're leaving (assuming it's negative) might just irk/frustrate them more, because maybe they are genuinely curious. I'm assuming that's the angle some people might be aiming for. Other companies probably just don't care why you're leaving and are only focused on finding your replacement.
Honestly, for those of you looking for satisfaction, I'd take the fact that you're leaving for another job and enjoy that as your satisfaction. I just don't think it matters in the long wrong if you tell an ex-employer that you're leaving over something negative.
I think this the best way of dealing with it, there probably expecting me to start complaining - Don't give them the exact reason, leave them curious, irked, leave them with an knawing empty feeling.
Plus don't tell them where I am going -
The more I think about it a Exit Interview is just an exercise in Noseness to pry into your details - I wonder do you have to attend these things.
Why should you have to give any information to them, employers are secretive all the time, rarely give decent feedback, won't give you info about salaries then expect you spill our guts
I wonder will they come back with a counter offer - I will refuse no matter what they offer, I don't like the idea that they have to be forced into taking you seriously by resigning.
Plus its probably going to create bad feeling.
