One advantage to putting postfix in the list of all the other Base 
packages is that the failure case is easier to describe to users. If 
they DO find themselves stuck in the base-config menu, the mail system 
installation and config is already done, so they don't have to do that 
step before they finish. Colin, could you have a look at the work 
involved in doing it that way and discuss with Matt? I'd prefer it, if 
you think it's a low-risk effort.
