However, as far as I know, base-config does not require the resulting configuration to be lots of tiny files as opposed to a single file, nor does it require the configuration to be split into a package of its own. Policy does not require any of this either. These two issues are my main griefs with the Exim packages. The existing debconf scripts are just fine; I certainly do not wish to see them replaced with something akin to the old eximconfig script. -- Tore Anderson
