To hack or not to hack



Hello,

I am not clear how I should deal with bug #155576.

amavisd-new upstream now recommend a new procedure for using exim with
amavisd-new. The old procedure is no longer recommended.

However, the new procedure does not work with the old version of exim
that is in Debian.

So I have been asked to include a copy of the old README.exim, as
I was told that procedure still worked. See bug #154318.

Now, in bug #155576 I have been told that the new procedure does not
work without a minor modification to the amavis code.

... A modification that would get lost if the package is upgraded.

... A modification that would also break the newer recommended procedure
with the newer versions of exim (AFAIK).

What should I do?

Would it be OK to simply reference the bug report at the top of
README.exim.old until the new version of exim makes it into Debian?
