Package: exim4-config
Version: 4.34-5
Severity: normal
I'd like to keep all exim4 configuration in a single file but the
debconf option "exim4/use_split_config: false" doesn't seem to have any
effect. I've tried both dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config and running
update-exim4.conf manually but it always writes the configuration
to /etc/exim4/conf.d ignoring the use_split_config setting.

[...]
You are misunderstanding the effect of "exim4/use_split_config:
false". It does not *delete* the files in conf.d, instead it changes
where the configuration are pulled from. - If yiou set it to false the
config is pulled from exim4.conf.template, if you set it to true from
the files in conf.d.
Quoting /usr/share/doc/exim4-base/README.Debian.gz
| How does this work? Exim cannot handle the gazillion files or parse
| /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf.
| ------
| The script update-exim4.conf does the work.
|
| Depending on the value of dc_use_split_config, it either
| - takes all the files below /etc/exim4/conf.d/ and concatenates
| them together or
| - uses exim4.conf.template as input.
|
| The debconf-managed information from /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf
| is merged into the generated configuration file. Strings like
| DEBCONFfooDEBCONF are replaced by the value that is set in
| /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf for the keyword dc_foo.
|
| DEBCONFsmarthostDEBCONF, for example, is replaced with the value of
| $dc_smarthost in /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf which holds the
| answer to "Which machine will act as the smarthost and handle outgoing
| mail?"
|
| The result of these operations is saved as
| /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated, which is _NOT_ a dpkg-conffile!
| Manual changes to this file will be overwritten by update-exim4.conf.
|
| Please consult the manpage of update-exim4.conf for more detailed
| information.
