[Bug 980151] [NEW] /var/lib/exim4 should be created by exim4-base

[Petr Jendrejovský]

Public bug reported:

In Ubuntu 12.04 (exim4-base 4.76-3ubuntu3) is /var/lib/exim4 required by
exim4-base.postinst when handling berkeleydbvers.txt, but this directory
is provided by exim4-config. This causes problems when creating new
custom package, which replaces exim4-config AND provides configuration
files AND depends on exim4-daemon-*.

I'm not sure if this should be considered as a bug, because it's
probably possible to solve it with additional apt setup. But this
additional setup is imho unnecessary complication when you have to do it
on many machines. And in previous versions of Ubuntu there were no
problems with it.

In the attached file you can see the "main idea" - of course this
directory should be created a different way.
