It's trivial -- just put the file at /etc/exim4/exim4.conf, and
completely ignore the other config files.
I've had a lot to say about the debian package's config files and
debconf setup over the past couple years, but that's my only complaint
about the package -- the packages are high quality, kept up to date
quite quickly in unstable, and there's really no reason I can see to
build a local copy as long as you don't need some experimental compile
option that isn't enabled in the exim4-heavy binary.
