It just arrived here too, so I suspect that it was held up until some
system somewhere verified that I was subscribed to the list.

Sounds like exactly what I'm looking for. Except one question - which
package? I've just discovered the reason why, for the last six years of
using Debian, dpkg-reconfigure never seemed to re-ask questions like
it's supposed to:
charly:~# dpkg-reconfigure exim4
charly:~#
Doesn't do anything. Because I'm meant to type dpkg-reconfigure
exim4-config. Obvious when you see it, unbelievably not obvious when
you don't. There are many, many packages where the actual, important
configuration is kept in a dependent package somewhere, not in the base
package. Gaah! OK, so much for exim4. Now I've reverted to exim, I
still don't know what to reconfigure:
charly:~# dpkg-reconfigure exim
charly:~#
There don't seem to be any other exim packages installed, apart from
documentation. Also, debconf doesn't seem to have any way to browse or
search the list of settings I've chosen, across all packages.
Thanks,
Mat
