retitle 927395 Add a update-exim4.conf.conf.local to avoid edit conflicts thanks
Well all I know is /etc/exim4/exim4.conf.localmacros is the safe place for macros, so there also should be a safe place for things that would go in /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf too. By safe I mean guaranteed that you and I are not trying to edit the same file. I mean the package generates lots of files, some with warnings "DO NOT EDIT, autogenerated", some with warnings "automatic changes to this file may happen". Well, certainly you could be so kind as your are with /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.localmacros by just reading an additional file in if found. That's the whole idea behind the ...d/* where we could just drop in a ./000_my_stuff , but alas all there is is just a monolithic /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf .
