So, why not use the tools that Debian gives you?

knight:/etc/logcheck# update-rc.d
usage: update-rc.d [-n] [-f] <basename> remove
       update-rc.d [-n] <basename> defaults [NN | sNN kNN]
       update-rc.d [-n] <basename> start|stop NN runlvl [runlvl] [...] .
                -n: not really
                -f: force

So, as root:

        update-rc.d -f exim4 remove

because it'll complain otherwise.


Or better yet, edit /etc/default/exim4 changing
        QUEUERUNNER='combined'
to
        QUEUERUNNER='nodaemon'

Hope that lessens you misunderstanding of Debian. There are far bigger
fish to deal with than sysv-rc-conf vs sysvinit styles.
