Bug#445327: exim4-config: update-exim4.conf does not ignore .dpkg-* files

[Hamish Moffatt]

Package: exim4-config
Version: 4.67-8
Severity: normal

update-exim4.conf was giving me the warning about
DEBCONFsomethingDEBCONF:

DEBCONFsomethingDEBCONF found in exim configuration. This is most probably 
caused by you upgrading to exim4 4.67-3 or later without accepting the 
suggested conffile changes. Please read 
/usr/share/doc/exim4-config/NEWS.Debian.gz for 4.67-2 and 4.67-4

However the DEBCONF.. stuff was in .dpkg-old files left behind by
configuration updates. It looks like update-exim4.conf isn't ignoring
those (possibly even for generating the config file).
