Bug#989608: Create /var/spool/exim4/msglog.OLD upon installation

Package: exim4
Severity: wishlist

It looks like the /var/spool/exim4/msglog.OLD directory is only created 
by Exim itself after the first messagelog is going to be written there.

If you need custom permissions on this directory, it would be nice to be 
able to set those permissions right within the deployment process, i.e. 
before Exim has sent any mail. So I'm suggesting to create it right 
away, during the installation.

I've already suggested this at 
https://bugs.exim.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2768 but got the answer that this 
is more a distribution thing :-)
