John,

could you use "cp -p" in base-files-profile.sh?

The postinstall exim.sh uses the non-existence of /etc/exim.conf
as the sign that it's a fresh installation. That test doesn't
work right if it happens to run after base-files-profile.sh,
because it creates /etc/exim.conf from /etc/defaults/etc

Being able to compare dates would greatly help.
Otherwise base-files-profile.sh looks fine.
Thanks

Pierre
