Well that's why each users on the exchange will have a unique deposit address....
Not really, because:
  • people don't regenerate the address before each deposit
  • people will have the address copy-pasted in their wallet address book and reuse it even if the exchange regenerates it each time
  • doesn't solve a deposit followed by multiple withdrawals in smaller amounts

For the address to be significant, it needs to be handled under the hood by the exchange, as a dust/signature.
