Package: exim4-base
Version: 4.34-10
Severity: normal

Hi,

Debian policy[1], recommend directories have permissions of either 755
or 2755. The /var/log/exim4 directories do not.  This makes is
cumbersome do a command such as 'sudo zgrep postini
/var/log/exim4/*.[0-9].gz'.

Where it would be possible, and convient, if the permissions on the
directory were 755. No other permissions need to change, on the
directories.

Thanks,
Anand
