Make it only happen if exim.conf doesn't exist, or is 0 bytes. If we
then bug lilo to drop the dep to a suggests (since logrotate will stay
as important, so it's not like it'll ever be removed unless the admin
specifically does it) debootstrap can be changed to not include exim
at some point in the future easily.
I think I'll re-instate Section: base as far as automatically determining
what packages to install goes. And just when we thought we'd gotten rid of
it, too. :)
