I needed to undo this, since it broke some supported setups:
 exim4 (4.89-2) unstable; urgency=medium

   * Revert addition of header "# pidfile: /var/run/exim4/exim.pid" to
     initscript (#844178). It breaks when the initscript does not start
     a daemon but only runs update-exim4.conf. (inetd or
     QUEUERUNNER='nodaemon').
