Correct. This looks to me like a bug in update-exim4.conf > (I have not yet identified the responsible piece of code.) The relevant code in update-exim4.conf starts at line 264. > As the setting of having one single IPv6 address to relay might be > quite uncommon, the main purpose of this bug report is to properly > report and document this weird behaviour. (Maybe add a sentence to the > debconf template?) I think that this issue deserves fixing. I need to ponder a while whether the fix is possible without breaking things, but probably documentation in README and/or NEWS may be the only thing possible. I'd rather not clutter up the debconf templates with that corner-case information, but would prefer things to Just Work[tm]. Not sure whether this may be possible.
