The README.Debian says
Benefits of the split configuration approach:
* it means less work for you when upgrading. If we shipped one big file
and modified for example the Maildir transport in a new version you
won't have to do manual conffile merging unless you had changed
exactly _this_ transport.
* It allows other packages (e.g. sa-exim) to modify exim's
configuration by shipping files in /etc/exim4/conf.d.
Benefits of the unsplit configuration approach:
* It is more fragile. If I add optionfoo=bar to the Debian setup of
a later version, and you have already set this option in a local
file, exim will break with the new version until you manually
correct this.
I think the latter paragraph is a little unclear. How is it a benefit that
the unsplit configuration is more fragile? Is it talking about the split
configuration here?
