You forgot to reply to the list. Nobody with any sense uses update-rc.d for system admin work. It's there for Debian packages to use, and god only knows what it will do if you actually try to use it. As a sysadmin, you're expected to handle the symlinks yourself. So just go to /etc/rc2.d/ and rename S04exim4 to something that doesn't start with an S. I personally use "disabled.S04exim4" or whatever, so that I have the original name with its sequence number available when I want to put it back to how it was originally.
