Exim?" had two choices, "yes/no". "no" means to really leave it
unconfigured. This is not clear.

As I reran base-config later, configuring exim4-config resulted in
"exim configuration error in /var/lig/exim4/config.autogenerated:
malformed macro definition. Exiting."
Hm. Unfortunately I can no longer tell what I had selected, and I'm not familiar with exim4 :-/

* Final notes, overall impression

X is still not running (blank screen). :-/
BTW, installing gnome-desktop-environment didn't install an X server...
The resulting Sarge system is not well tested yet, I may have overlooked
other issues.

The d-i interface's look&feel, the structure of the installation process
made a good impression, although I think d-i is still clearly beta.

Besides the remaining problems, I found (pre)partitioning the hard disk
the most troublesome task, but this is, IMO, mainly due to lack of
control with DriveSetup, and partly due to lack of detailed
documentation within the Sarge Installation Manual.
Don't ask how the actual partition table came to being... :-(
