Actually, I have to disagree. I recently installed exim4 so I could take
advantage of sa-exim. When I installed exim4 it went through the motions of
asking me my configuration but did not actually substitute the answers from
debconf into the conf.d files. I ended up whatever the configuration files
had last and had to go back and hand edit them all to get it to work. he
worst part was that I hadn't realized it wasn't working since for some reason
it was accepting outside mail but would only deliver locally.
Be that as it may I didn't find conf.d daunting after I ripped the debconf
mess out. It looked very much like the exim3 configuration file, just in
different files and following the standard we've seen in the rc.* directories.
I got sa-exim working in short order and was back to where I was with exim3 in
about half-an-hour.
Anyway, just a random datapoint and not a basis for what should be in
sarge.
