(bug 260141=A0: two suggestions for exim4 config screens=A0: rewrite the
templates for having them integrate more easily in the 2nd stage
installs by making clear they are about configuring the mail
system....and change the priority of the exim4 configuration question
from critical to high)

Well, apologies for the lack of answers. The mail probably felt into a
mini black hole in my head...

About the templates rewording, this is definitely post-sarge as it
seems too late for me to have a chance getting translations synced
again (last time, it took me near 3 weeks to be sure getting the 30+
languages completed).

The priority change could maybe happen now. I see no harm doing it but
this probably needs some agreement from the d-i team (OK, I'm part of
it...but Frans and/or Joey, or others, can bring more input).

For D-i people, the suggestion was:

This question has a critical priority currently. So, it adds one
screen to critical priority installs, while the default value is
indeed correct and does not break the system, as said.
