Scott, I asked around about this subject and those past SRUs with micro-
release updates were accepted probably based on this:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#New_upstream_microreleases

And since Debian is also including those micro-releases in stable point
releases I also think we should that too. However, I did not find the
upstream QA process documented and this is mandatory according to the
SRU policy for a micro-release update:

"The upstream QA process must be documented/demonstrated and linked from
the SRU tracking bug."

If it is documented somewhere could you please provide a link to it? In
case it is not available, we could not take advantage of this micro-
release SRU process and a Postfix exception would be needed, like we
already have for other packages as you can see here:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#Documentation_for_Special_Cases

To do that a process needs to be defined for future Postfix SRUs
containing micro-release updates. I see we already have some good DEP-8
tests, so we'd need to write a wiki page describing this process and ask
the SRU team to acknowledge it. I am offering myself to drive this if
that is the case.
