Bug#337229: exim4-config: update-exim4.conf ignores dc_use_split_config if -d|--confdir is used

[Ted Percival]

Package: exim4-config
Version: 4.54-1
Severity: normal

When update-exim4.conf is run with the -d|--confdir option, it uses the
conf.d directory regardless of whether update-exim4.conf.conf has
dc_use_split_config set to false.

Furthermore update-exim4.conf dies if the conf.d directory doesn't exist
even though dc_use_split_config is false (might be caused by the same
problem).
