Package: exim4-config
Version: 4.94-5
Severity: normal
File: /usr/sbin/update-exim4.conf
Dear Maintainer,
My requirement is to have no binding to a specified IP, therefore
dc_local_interfaces must not be set.
When updating exim4 packages, including exim4-config, a line
dc_local_interfaces is added,
in effect restricting access to localhost (ip4 and ip6).
I expect that an existing configuration is not effectively modified by an
update script.

Then set
dc_local_interfaces=''

If you delete the setting instead of setting it to the wanted value you are
effectively telling the debconf system "this setting has not been seen and
set deliberately, please reset."
