Debconf support is now required? I'm flabbergasted. Could you
please point me to this section of our policy? I certainly cannot
find it.

An existing code example from the top of my head would be the current
xserver-xfree86 package's config and postinst scripts. Another package
which does much of the same thing, albeit in quite a different manner,
is proftpd. I'm sure there's many more.
Would you and Andreas seriously consider modifying the Exim packages
to the layout I suggested in my former post? If so, I would be happy
to spend some time developing a patch for this purpose.
