Re: Please update debconf PO translation for the package exim4 4.67-1exp1

I'm really sorry for this. In the usual process, *I* am doing all
changes in a local tree, then I submit the result to the maintainer.

That includes using new gettext features that put former msgid's in
the changed strings comments.

However, for exim4, the maintainer applied the changes to his
experimental branch *before* that. As he did not apply all the
suggested changes, I have to follow him and post the call for updates
by using the same copy. And, unfortunately, he did *not* use the new
"msgmerge --previous" feature, so you don't have former msgid's in the
strings comments.

Hopefully, that should happen only for exim4.

Please find attached the diff between the former strings and the new
ones. Hopefully, that may help you and other translators.
