[Bug 1072084] [NEW] package exim4-config 4.76-3ubuntu3.1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

Public bug reported:

This is like #1041980, but occurs because the upgrade detects a missing
configuration template. Touching the missing file allows the upgrade to
proceed to completion. The pre-install script should handle this better
- in particular because I haven't done anything to modify the exim
configuration since installation. This version of the package should be
able to handle what the last version of the package put on my system.
