Hmm, I understand. I haven't seen much answer to your mail and I
missed the moment when you came on #debian-boot asking for advices so
I couldn't do my best to trigger a discussion.

Let's try another attempt by CC'ing Frans (now D-I release manager)
and Joey.

Joey, Frans, in short #342077 is a suggestion of mine to lower the
priority of the only exim question asked during installs.

The rationale is: there is a sane default anyway (Local delivery only)
so skipping the question during critical priority installs will not
hurt and will save one question in critical priority installs.

This will of course not change anything to default installs.

I think this is worth it but I can't speak for the whole D-I team.
