Agreed.

I don't agree with this.  It's impossible to set exim up properly without
this documentation, so it really has to be there.  If anyone wants to
modify the exim.conf generated by eximconfig, they *will* need that
documentation.  Having said that, perhaps things might be a little less
confusing if the info documentation package was called exim-info rather
than exim-doc.  Comments?
