Bug#369126: exim4-config: Consider a bit more documentation for /etc/email-addresses

Package: exim4-config
Version: 4.62-1
Severity: wishlist

The existence and use of /etc/email-addresses seems kind of buried to me.  It's mentioned in
the NEWS and in a FAQ for README.Debian.

It might be helpful to note its existence and purpose in the main body of 
README.Debian.

A man page would be a nice touch too, if you don't consider it overkill.

The use and syntax of the file are well documented in the file itself; the
problem is knowing that the file is there.  Also, someone might delete
the comments.
