If this is done, please be sure to clearly log (or report) which
configuration file is in use.

Could this be done for Debian within Debian's /etc/init.d/exim script?

update-inetd --disable smtp
if [ -f /etc/exim.conf ] ; then
echo -n "Starting MTA: "
start-stop-daemon --start --exec $DAEMON -- -bd -q30m
echo "exim."
elif [ -f /var/whatever/exim.conf ] ; then
echo -n "Starting MTA: "
start-stop-daemon --start --exec $DAEMON -- -C /var/whatever/exim.conf -bd -q30m
echo "exim (using /var/whatever/exim.conf configuration)."
else
echo "Exim not started. No configuration."
fi
