Bug#431019: false positives about DEBCONFsomethingDEBCONF

[Michal Čihař]

Package: exim4-config
Version: 4.67-5
Severity: normal

Hi

just after upgrade I got following error:

DEBCONFsomethingDEBCONF found in exim configuration. This is most probably 
caused by you upgrading to exim4 4.67-3 or later without accepting the 
suggested conffile changes. Please read 
/usr/share/doc/exim4-config/NEWS.Debian.gz for 4.67-2 and 4.67-4

As I was not aware of any unsuccesful config updates, I was a bit
confused about NEWS hints. However at the end it turned out to be more
problem in script than in my config - it greps over all files in
/etc/exim4/conf.d. This means that it processes lots of files which are
otherwise ignored by update-exim4.conf. In my case it was some
*.dpkg-old lefover from past.

Maybe the config check should use some search logic as rest of the
script?
