Ouch. I believe a lot of people who use Debian exim for more-complicated-than- average-use-cases opt to avoid the Debian/debconf-generated exim configuration machinery, at least once it has generated something to begin working from. To achieve this, one copies /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated to /etc/exim4/exim4.conf and restarts the daemon.
From that point forward, you will not get the benefit of any
improvements made to the debconf-exim-config-generation machinery in newer package versions, but it is quite static anyway. You would also side-step bugs like the above. -- Jonathan Dowland
