Package: postfix
Version: 2.2.8-9+kbsd
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

postfix is not installable on Debian GNU/kFreeBSD.
Actually it does the installation, but the post-installation
script fails to start postfix.

And that is because on start-up, postfix tries to chdir to 
"/usr/libexec/postfix" and there is no "/usr/libexec" folder.

A symlink creation of "/usr/lib" to "/usr/libexec" solved the problem.

this version does not exist in the archive, and never has...

Sounds like a bug in kfreebsd's patch, which I'm not involved with.
