You forgot to reply to the list.

Nobody with any sense uses update-rc.d for system admin work.  It's
there for Debian packages to use, and god only knows what it will do
if you actually try to use it.

As a sysadmin, you're expected to handle the symlinks yourself.  So
just go to /etc/rc2.d/ and rename S04exim4 to something that doesn't
start with an S.  I personally use "disabled.S04exim4" or whatever,
so that I have the original name with its sequence number available
when I want to put it back to how it was originally.
