I didn't do anything special when I upgraded from Etch to Lenny some many months ago in 2009, and I have all the docs. I upgraded via aptitude from the mirrors. If the OP upgraded via local media (CD/DVD) I guess it's possible the routine is somehow different, but I doubt it. The docs are all zipped but they're all here, including the RELEASE_NOTES. greer:/home/stan# la /usr/share/doc/postfix/ total 604K drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4.0K Oct 3 06:21 . drwxr-xr-x 446 root root 12K Jan 18 20:52 .. drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4.0K Oct 21 2005 examples drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4.0K Oct 3 06:21 html -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2.9K Sep 14 2008 ADDRESS_CLASS_README.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 11K Sep 14 2008 ADDRESS_REWRITING_README.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5.4K Sep 14 2008 ADDRESS_VERIFICATION_README.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4.3K Sep 14 2008 BACKSCATTER_README.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6.8K Sep 14 2008 BASIC_CONFIGURATION_README.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4.3K Sep 14 2008 BUILTIN_FILTER_README.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2.7K Sep 14 2008 CDB_README -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2.9K Sep 14 2008 COMPATIBILITY -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3.2K Sep 14 2008 CONNECTION_CACHE_README.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3.3K Sep 14 2008 CONTENT_INSPECTION_README -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 257 Sep 14 2008 CYRUS_README -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4.5K Sep 14 2008 DATABASE_README.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2.3K Sep 14 2008 DB_README.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6.3K Sep 14 2008 DEBUG_README.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1.8K Sep 14 2008 DSN_README.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3.8K Sep 14 2008 ETRN_README.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7.8K Sep 14 2008 FILTER_README.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4.5K Sep 14 2008 IPV6_README.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7.0K Sep 14 2008 LDAP_README.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1.7K Sep 14 2008 LINUX_README -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2.1K Sep 14 2008 LOCAL_RECIPIENT_README.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2.0K Sep 14 2008 MAILDROP_README.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7.9K Sep 14 2008 MILTER_README.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2.0K Sep 14 2008 MYSQL_README.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 535 Sep 14 2008 NEWS.Debian.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1.6K Sep 14 2008 NFS_README -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2.2K Sep 14 2008 PACKAGE_README.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2.9K Sep 14 2008 PCRE_README -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2.1K Sep 14 2008 PGSQL_README.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1.2K Sep 14 2008 PORTING -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 234 Sep 14 2008 QMQP_README -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 13K Sep 14 2008 QSHAPE_README.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2.2K Sep 14 2008 README.Debian -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2.5K Sep 14 2008 README.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1.4K Sep 14 2008 README.proto -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5.8K Sep 14 2008 RELEASE_NOTES.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2.4K Sep 14 2008 RESTRICTION_CLASS_README.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7.3K Sep 14 2008 SASL_README.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 20K Sep 14 2008 SCHEDULER_README.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5.0K Sep 14 2008 SMTPD_ACCESS_README.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6.2K Sep 14 2008 SMTPD_POLICY_README.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3.7K Sep 14 2008 SMTPD_PROXY_README.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4.1K Sep 14 2008 SOHO_README.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7.3K Sep 14 2008 STANDARD_CONFIGURATION_README.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6.0K Sep 14 2008 STRESS_README.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 15K Sep 14 2008 TLS_LEGACY_README.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 26K Sep 14 2008 TLS_README.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7.6K Sep 14 2008 TUNING_README.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1.8K Sep 14 2008 UUCP_README.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2.5K Sep 14 2008 VERP_README.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6.3K Sep 14 2008 VIRTUAL_README.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3.1K Sep 14 2008 XCLIENT_README.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2.9K Sep 14 2008 XFORWARD_README.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 28K Sep 14 2008 changelog.Debian.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 165K Sep 14 2008 changelog.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 18K Sep 14 2008 copyright -- Stan
