[Pkg-exim4-users] question about update-exim4.conf manpage

[Ross Boylan]

The man page for update-exim4.conf says, in part

  If update-exim4.conf is called without the option -o, it
  checks the validity of the freshly generated configuration file and
  exits with  an error.   In   that   case,   the   new   file   is
  not  installed  to /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated.

Is that the intended meaning?  My guess is the intended meaning is

If update-exim4.conf detects that the freshly generated configuration
file is invalid it exits with an error.  Unless the -o option was
given, the old output file is retained.
