Hi,

Thanks for all the work you put into postfix in the last months!

We ran into a few spurious warnings about files differing while upgrading
a few systems from bookworm to trixie.
One case was /etc/services having the mtime from packaging, while
/var/spool/postfix/etc/services having one from today (despite containing
the contents from bookworm). Another one is from systems where
/etc/localtime is set by a script right after postfix check is called
(mtimes/ctimes/btimes are identical, despite /etc/localtime being "newer").

I created a merge request in salsa to drop the -u option:
https://salsa.debian.org/postfix-team/postfix-dev/-/merge_requests/48
and think that dropping `-u` here makes sense.

Best Regards,
Stoiko Ivanov
