Hmmm, ok, then. It's a little inconsistent, imho, but the existing
documentation argument wins...

It is now ready. You theoretically need to Version-depend on 
"debconf >=1.4.69" but unless you intend to preserve backportability
on sarge, this is not needed.

Well, OK. The intent was being consistent with the fact that Exim 4 is
the only really supported version, but well...

The only drawback is being more jargonic. Maybe add "relay" as an
extra explanation ?

If this system should not be a smarthost (i.e. mail relay) for any
other host...
