Please don't speculate - there is enough bad information on the
Internet. Postfix's built-in chroot feature is not applicable for
commands that are run from the root shell prompt.
The real problem is that DEBIAN has not caught up on changes in
Postfix file locations. When multi-instance support was introduced,
it was necessary to move files such as postfix-script and postfix-files
from (non-shared) /etc/postfix to (shared) /usr/libexec/postfix.
