Package: exim4-base
Version: 4.76-2
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
File: /etc/init.d/exim4

  When /etc/init.d/exim4 what is invoked, a USR1 signal is also sent
to the init script process.  It is not intended, and has undesired
consequences.  Few more details were posted in
http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-exim4-users/2011-September/001971.html
for few more details.  That post also describes another possible
solution.
