exim4-config:
exim4 (4.67-4) unstable; urgency=low
Since a lot of users did not read the docs while upgrading and
filed bug reports about exim4-config failing to install due to a
"malformed macro definition", update-exim4.conf.conf now checks
for DEBCONFsomethingDEBCONF strings anywhere in
/etc/exim4/exim4.conf.template or recursively /etc/exim4/conf.d
and barfs if such strings are found. This check - as a feature - also
includes files that would normally be excluded by
update-exim4.conf.
Last sentence.
Greetings
Marc
