Bug#315775: exim4-config: Debian tells me to enter a comma-separated list when exim wants a colon-separated list

Package: exim4-config
Version: 4.50-8
Severity: normal


When configuring exim, I'm asked if I have any more domains I want
to be the final destination for.  Debconf tells me (in Norwegian)
that this list should be comma-separated.  Unfortunately, exim
expects a colon-separated list so my comma-separated list did not work.

When I figured this out, I changed to a colon-separated list of domains
and exim worked fine.

The bug is in the norwegian translation of the help text.  The english
text (obtained with LANG=C) is ok and specifies colons.
