Here's the last piece of the puzzle. The strace for the daemon gives: > Process 7475 attached - interrupt to quit > 21:04:29.883761 select(1, [0], NULL, NULL, NULL) = ?

How does that strace look like in a situation where the daemon immediately dies? When I tried to reproduce, I once accidentally started base-config in an strace, and was unable to kill the base-config process with Ctrl-C which _usually_ works. Is it possible that the installer establishes a signal handler which is then inherited by the processes started from the installer, and thus the SIGTERM sent by s-s-d to exim is caught by that handler instead of getting through to exim?
