Packages are not allowed to modify configuration files, especially not
configuration files from other packages. Atleast, that is what I was told.

I'm not sure about the situation now, but when I installed the exim4
packages, I couldn't choose wether I wanted a single monolithic
configuration file, or a split config, so it was a deliberate choice of
myself to put /etc/exim4/exim4.conf in place and ingore the conf.d/*
structure.

I thought about adding a little check to see if /etc/exim4/exim4.conf
exists, and if so, wether or not local_scan_path was configured
correctly.  If not, print out a warning or send a message or something.

It's not commented out. 
It's active, but sa-exim.conf has SARunCond: 0 which is somewhat the same ;)

And it does. It just doesn't change configuration files from other
packages, like it should :)
