*sigh*

A wonder it took so long time for this bug to be filed for the first
time.

See #392609.

The exim4 maintainers were strongly urged by the installer guys to
have exim refrain from asking configuratino questions during install
and have complied reluctantly. That meant choosing a default, and - of
course - regardless of what you choose as the default the choice is
considered wrong by everybody.

To make it short: Please take this to debian-devel or to the tech ctte
to have them tell me what to choose as default. I don't care. And I am
not going to change this default just to have somebody else complain a
day later.

Greetings
Marc
