Bug#310771: Today's exim4 update broke TLS configuration

[Sam Morris]

Package: exim4
Version: 4.50-6
Severity: normal

The contents of /etc/exim4/conf.d/main/03_exim4-config_tlsoptions were
changed quite a bit in the exim4 package that entered sarge this
evening, to the extent that the instructions for "How to enble TLS support
with Exim-TLS V4+" from /usr/share/doc/exim4-base/README.TLS.gz no longer apply.

The changes include dropping some of the options mentioned in that file,
and introducing macros such as MAIN_TLS_ENABLE, MAIN_TLS_VERIFY_HOSTS,
etc, which don't appear to be documented anywhere, or controlled through
debconf.

I'm happy to just define these macros at the start of the file, but
since I didn't see any remarks in changelog.Debian.gz, and the
documentation is now out of date, I thought it best to open a bug in
case these changes were unintentional.
