| So is the whole thing essentially a workaround for dpkg's current
| lack of good conffile update management, or would you still prefer the
| separate files way if dpkg magically gained a well-tested and stable
| conflict resolution scheme with bells, whistles, and 3-way merges?

It's also a nice way for other packages to update exim's configuration
-- I'm considering shipping files for mailman, for instance.  It would
be nice if SA did the same and so on.
