Package: exim4-config
Version: 4.77-1
Severity: minor

As I read exim documentation in detail, I realized upstream example file
as seen on Debian as /usr/share/doc/exim4-base/examples/example.conf.gz
in exim4-base package has:

| # Specify the location of the Exim server's TLS certificate and private key.
| # The private key must not be encrypted (password protected). You can put
| # the certificate and private key in the same file, in which case you only
| # need the first setting, or in separate files, in which case you need both
| # options.
| 
| # tls_certificate = /etc/ssl/exim.crt
| # tls_privatekey = /etc/ssl/exim.pem
| 
| # In order to support roaming users who wish to send email from anywhere,
| # you may want to make Exim listen on other ports as well as port 25, in
| # case these users need to send email from a network that blocks port 25.
| # The standard port for this purpose is port 587, the "message submission"
| # port. See RFC 4409 for details. Microsoft MUAs cannot be configured to
| # talk the message submission protocol correctly, so if you need to support
| # them you should also allow TLS-on-connect on the traditional but
| # non-standard port 465.
| 
| # daemon_smtp_ports = 25 : 465 : 587
| # tls_on_connect_ports = 465


I do not see these in Debian template.  i know they are not the same but some
synching may be good idea for exim4-config.  

-- Package-specific info:
Exim version 4.77 #3 built 14-Nov-2011 22:30:32

MAIN_TLS_CERTIFICATE / MAIN_TLS_PRIVATEKEY.

These are indeed not listed. However the default value works for many
setups, and main configuration option like this one are easily set
locally, even without editing dpkg-conffiles
(/etc/exim4/exim4.conf.localmacros).

We keep them roughly in sync. There is build-time check which triggers
automatically when the upstream template changes to make sure we do
not miss changes.

I am closing this report, as it seems to be of wishlist nature.
