Right, a Debian bug/issue should be directed to the Debian people.

In reality this is very difficult. Postfix tends to handle its own
upgrades (from source) pretty well, but packaging systems often
encounter problems. Or maybe it is only for the users who didn't
find or didn't read the packager's instructions? I don't know.

This is worth complaining about, IMO. If a user should make the
conscious decision to not install the documentation with a given
package, that's the user's fault, but the default install should
provide documentation.
