    Make sure that debconf did it's job.  Check
/var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated and ensure no DEBCONF is in it.  The past
two installs for exim4 I had to manually comment out everything debconf
touched since it did absolutely no configuration on its own.

    Nope.  This was the main sticking point on why exim4 wasn't just an
upgrade for exim3.  exim3 is the default MTA in Debian.  The configuration
file format (as well as options) don't translate directly so scriptng a
switchover would be rough.
