Bug#421424: exim4/dc_postmaster should default to the user created at installation time

Package: exim4
Version: 4.67-1
Severity: wishlist

If the user installing the system takes the advice about not working as root,
and creates an account for themselves as part of the installation process,
that account gets various group privileges, and generally seems to get treated
as a local admin.  How about making exim4/dc_postmaster default to that user?
You can find out the name of the user created at installation time by reading
passwd/username, and default to it if it exists.
