Package: exim4
Version: 4.67-5
Severity: normal
On upgrade to 4.67-5, the following complaint appeared twice:
DEBCONFsomethingDEBCONF found in exim configuration. This is most probably
caused by you upgrading to exim4 4.67-3 or later without accepting the
suggested conffile changes. Please read
/usr/share/doc/exim4-config/NEWS.Debian.gz for 4.67-2 and 4.67-4
However, the string DEBCONF does not appear in any actual configuration file
under /etc/exim4. It appears many times, but only in emacs backups and old
config files:

exim appears to work fine despite the error message.

Geez. This is a feature documented in the documentation referenced by
the error message.
