Severity: grave

Of the postfix security update today (DSA 1629-1), only the
postfix-doc package will be upgraded on i386 due to a binary rebuild
of postfix in March 2007:

---snip---
postfix (2.3.8-2+b1) unstable; urgency=low

  * Binary-only non-maintainer upload for i386; no source changes.
  * Rebuild against openssl (>= 0.9.8e-2); closes: #415670.

The problem seems to be present on i386 only, at least the amd64 and
sparc security updates worked fine.

I'll try to workaround this by forcing the "downgrade" and setting the
package(s) on hold.
