Thanks Clive.

I ended up just extracting the file by hand from the exim4-config .deb
package ( ar -x ) and read the update-exim4.conf man page ;)

But it was all in vein.  I got a config working based on the exim
distribution sample.  The debian one actually isn't working for me, and
although I'm curious why, I'm on to other things now.

Here's some useful sites I found:
