The backported version for woody provides this as an option in the
/etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf file, so that when you run
update-exim4.conf, it will generate the running config from either the
/etc/exim4/conf.d config or the customary /etc/exim4/exim4.conf
Of course, you could modify the update-exim4.conf script to do whatever
you like, regardless of whether it is available in the package for the
branch of your choice
