Bug#275953: exim4-config: [dpkg-reconfigure] Please rephrase "Your main name is hostname..."

[Jari Aalto]

Package: exim4-config
Version: 4.34-4
Severity: minor

While running dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config, the dialog asks:

	Your "mail name" is the hostname portion of the address to be shown ...
	...
	This name ... full domain name (FQDN) ...

This seems to give contradicting information. The hostname usually
refers to $HOSTNAME while the FQDN is composed from $HOST and domain
names. It is not entirely clear what should be typed in this prompt.

Please either give specific example, like:

	Example: if your mail address is foo@host.example.com, then the value
	typed below would be host.exmaple.com

or mention that the value should be Fully Qualified domain name and drop
the references to "hostname".
