It will also greatly aid future updates. When the local admin changes
something in a single big exim.conf, the entire file drops out of dpkg
conffile handling, making updates a major endeavour.
With the gazillion little files, a change makes only _this_
router/transport/acl/foo drop out of dpkg-conffile handling which will
make merging local and package changes much easier.
