I happen to disagree. exim4.conf.template and exim4/conf.d belong together, exim4.conf.template is generated from exim4/conf.d at package build time and at the local user's request. > One instance I can see it happening in is with one mail server I > set up, I kept different configurations in different directories, thus > to get around that message I would have to symlink (or copy) the conf.d > directory even though it was not being used.

However, I have changed update-exim4.conf to only flag this case as an error if split config is actually selected in svn.
