removing exim4 (and ancillary packages) from the system due to the
installation of an alternate MTA leaves detritus on the system in the form
of its log rotation script in /etc/logrotate.d. This causes logrotate to exit without
running, affecting all other packages/systems that depend on logratate to
run normally.
