Bug#599394: init script logging broken with parallel booting

[Stanislav Maslovski]

Package: exim4-base
Version: 4.72-1
Severity: minor
Tags: squeeze sid

The approach to log the boot process that is currently implemented in
the init script of exim4 is inappropriate for parallel booting
(which is, by the way, the default for squeeze).

This is what I usually get in the boot log:
...
