Nothing comes immediately to mind, however make sure exim is near-ish
the end of packages to be installed.

Also, if this is only a problem on non-developer rootfs, well, you know
what I'm going to say next ~:^)

Also, it shouldn't be configuring exim4.  It doesn't do that on a
debootstrap secondstage.  It should just install it with some kind of
nop configuration.  So I don't know what might have been happening.  We
will check an exim4 config file into the faux rootfs to be installed
afterwards, followed by a call to exim4-update-update or whatever
whacky thing it's called.

Rendell should be good to go for the moment as his machine should
have a working exim4 configuration on it.  Oh, you said Vikas, sorry,
nevermind.

Cheers,
