That would require the user to have installed postfix first for this to work. > Having the init mess with main.cf seems risky and fragile (I could be > totally wrong on this, it's just a gut feel).

I'm not very keen on stifling all other development just becuase we intend to backport a new version when it eventually comes out. I also suspect that as much testing as possible can help you get rid of your gut problems.. :) The changes we're discussing here are AFAICS completely orthogonal to the version of postfix we're doing this to. Furthermore, the changes are (well, depending on the exact implementation details, but if we look at what I proposed) fairly well-contained, so it shouldn't be much of a problem yanking it out for source backports for dapper through gutsy. -- Soren Hansen Ubuntu Server Team http://www.ubuntu.com/
