I wonder whether the appropriate solution here is a standalone one-time

of those it finds, as well as scanning known config files for expected
entries containing hash: or btree: types.
Am I underthinking this?
I really like this approach, it could be contained to a separate script
that can be included in the postfix distribution and made available
independently on the website. This would mean that people that need it
when migrating to EL10 would be able to just download the script and run
it on an older system without the need for a current po0stfix that
supports automatic migration (which will never be included in a stock
EL10 distribution) and it won't give issues with postfix installs that
are configured for one db type but are actually running a different one
thereby causing issues if postfix is switched to one that has BDB
support compiled in.
