Bug#342077: exim4-config: Please consider prompting for config type at high priority

[Frans Pop]

/me wonders why a new bug was opened on this when #260141 is also still 
open...

I do seem to remember talking about this on #d-boot at the time (either 
with Mark or Christian) and saying that changing the priority does seem 
consistent with other packages as the question does have a default that 
results in a working mailsystem where system mails are delivered in a 
sane way [1].

However, that is probably only a real option if:
- preseeding the question (and other exim configuration questions) works
- preseeding exim configuration is properly documented in the new appendix
  on preseeding in the installation guide

Given the conversation on IRC today about preseeding exim questions, I 
guess a volunteer is needed to check this, especially as exim is 
installed a bit differently than in the past.

[1] Of course, given the time that has passed since then, this may be an 
example of creative memory manipulation.
