I upgraded from Etch to Lenny and used non-split-config first, after changing to split-config I
always get 2 times "/etc/exim4/exim4.conf.template: No such file or directory" while running 
/usr/sbin/update-exim4.conf.
The reason I believe are the left-over-checks in line 424 and 432 which are always grepping
the /etc/exim4/conf.d AND the /etc/exim4/exim4.conf.template. In my opinion there should be
a check before to determine which configuration-type is used and then grepped against the
used scheme (directory OR file).
