The main argument (and my motivation) for this patch is that once dc_localdelivery is set to maildir_home (as explained in your README.Debian) the 'Maildir' directory automagically shows up in users directories. The goal of the patch is just to make as simple as a "dc_localdelivery" setup the choice for the global name for the Maildir (typically with '.Maildir' as suggested on the web page cited above). > Not everything must be configurable through debconf, dpkg-conffiles > exist for a reason. Well, I have taken care not to mix up with debconf (in order not to trigger a new round of translations). I have simply carefully followed your example with dc_localdelivery (that is not debconf driven either) in order to take advantage of your update-exim4.conf machinery. You may find all this not `surprisingly convincing' so feel free to close the bug. Best regards, Frédéric Lehobey
