I confirm the issue existing with 4.50, can reproduce it here. If I
interpret correctly, the fd that the debconf frontend stalls reading
from is connected to the exim daemon.

Hm. The Debconf-related stuff did not change besides cosmetics between
4.44-2 and 4.50-3. But I have seen that we do quite unusual stuff,
such as restarting the daemon in the .config script, which seems to be
rather exotic.

I'll consult with the other Exim 4 maintainers and upstream, and would
appreciate any debugging help.

Greetings
Marc
