Bug#301749: exim4 delays 30 sec when installing or removing

[Jason Spiro]

Here are my suggestions to simplify initial configuration:

Most users use the default DEBCONF_PRIORITY of "high" because they don't 
want to deal with things like exim-config. I believe that the majority 
of these users would prefer local delivery, and for all other exim 
options to be left as the defaults the postinst script currently 
suggests. (This way, if they use sudo, cron, etc. they will be able to 
pick up messages sent by these apps easily using mailx or mutt. If not, 
they can choose to have people send mail to their machine, or can use 
fetchmail, or can use a POP3 client to read their mail directly off 
their ISP's POP3 server. In all these cases, they'll be fine.)

People who want other options, e.g. a smarthost setup, can easily lower 
their DEBCONF_PRIORITY, but it would be kind to newbies and what I feel 
are the majority of non-Debian Developers to not ask them to go through 
the mailer config when they install Debian.

If this does not sound like a good idea, please let me know; I have 
another idea.

Thanks for your consideration.
