And yet it is a very bad metaphor considering a large portion of this
thread is about how the Debianization of Exim's configuration file, which
admittedly does make it work "out of the box" for the clueless causes problems
in the long run. The very same thing is true of Ubuntu because they pull
packages from Debian and then rename every last one to -ubuntu. This makes
migrating from Ubuntu to Debian next to impossible just as Debian's
configuration file makes migrating from Debian's Exim does to Exim's
legitimate docs next to impossible.
