The testing I did this morning was copying a default Wheezy VM and
reconfiguring Exim to use a "split file" config, and verifying that the
contents of an added /etc/exim4/conf.d/main/04_exim-config_testing.dpkg-dist
file doesn't get included in the generated configuration in
/var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated.
So right now I think that I probably just didn't know that this had been
fixed, because I haven't been using the "split file" configuration for along
time. I clearly remember having _upgrade_ problems in 2003 with Exim on
Debian Testing, but I might be confusing the root cause of those problems at
that time; there are occasional required configuration changes, and that's
another possible cause.
