    So, why not use the tools that Debian gives you?

    knight:/etc/logcheck# update-rc.d
    usage: update-rc.d [-n] [-f] <basename> remove
           update-rc.d [-n] <basename> defaults [NN | sNN kNN]
           update-rc.d [-n] <basename> start|stop NN runlvl [runlvl] [...] .
                    -n: not really
                    -f: force

    So, as root:

            update-rc.d -f exim4 remove

    because it'll complain otherwise.

    Or better yet, edit /etc/default/exim4 changing
            QUEUERUNNER='combined'
    to
            QUEUERUNNER='nodaemon'

    Hope that lessens you misunderstanding of Debian. There are far bigger
    fish to deal with than sysv-rc-conf vs sysvinit styles.
