"dpkg -L exim4" shows no reference to /etc/exim4 in the exim4
package. (But see below.)

Somewhat belatedly,

    ls -ld /etc/exim4
    drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 1024 May  9 13:24 /etc/exim4

    apt-file search etc/exim4 | cut -d: -f1 | sort -u
    debian-edu-config
    exim4-config
    sa-exim

(Remove the cut|sort to see the files each package would create.)

In /etc/exim4 ("dpkg -L exim4-config").
