Bug#817244: exim4-base: cron noise re environment

[Marcel]

Interesting.  Thanks Adam.  Fixed the issue.

Sorry for the confusion.  Blame it on my bad understanding on how
update-exim.conf works.  I just read the folowing:

"update-exim4.conf  exits  silently and does nothing if /etc/exim4/exim4.conf
exists and -o was not used to direct the output to a different
       file than /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated."

Was having problems with the configuration since migration from exim3.  I'll try
to standardize my configuration otherwise issues like that are expected with each
exim update.

No problems with installations on other machines using debconf though.

Best regards!
