I don't think that it is a good idea to split this off.

Using inetd is not supported. /etc/init.d/exim4 is a dpkg-conffile, please remove the code yourself. > Theoretically, the inetd check should be conditional on the value of > $QUEUERUNNER, but I'd argue that it's the duty of the users to edit > the value of $QUEUERUNNER themselves in /etc/default/exim4, and that the > inetd check is redundant.

I am not going to make that change to the Debian exim4 packages. inetd is not supported.
