I've had to run postfix set-permissions on my box to resolve a few
ownership issues.  On this platform (Debian Lenny) a few things aren't what
set-permissions expects to find-- largely man pages that aren't compressed,
slightly different pathing, map files that aren't necessarily installed,
etc.

What I haven't noticed is a way to get set-permissions to note the error
(stdout or stderr would be fine) but continue on past failure to address
the rest of its checklist.  Having to manually unzip large numbers of man
pages just to get permissions set on stuff that's more important is
frustrating.

Would implementing something like this be difficult?  I'm prepared to hack
on it a bit myself if needed.
