Sorry for not giving this info - it just happened on the upgrade from
2.5.1-2ubuntu1 to  2.5.1-2ubuntu1.2, on hardy.

But while testing further, I realized that I also couldn't just go
back to the *1 version.
Removing the package completely, and just simply installing it again
worked fine.

Now, postfix's debconf data looks like this:

* postfix/mailname: filet.lazy
  postfix/tlsmgr_upgrade_warning:
  postfix/recipient_delim: +
* postfix/main_mailer_type: No configuration
  postfix/retry_upgrade_warning:
  postfix/kernel_version_warning:
  postfix/relayhost:
  postfix/procmail: false
* postfix/bad_recipient_delimiter:
  postfix/chattr: false
  postfix/root_address:
  postfix/rfc1035_violation: false
  postfix/mydomain_warning:
  postfix/mynetworks: 127.0.0.0/8 [::ffff:127.0.0.0]/104 [::1]/128
  postfix/destinations: true, localhost, localhost.localdomain, localhost
  postfix/not_configured: 1
  postfix/mailbox_limit: 0
  postfix/protocols: all


The diff being

(which might be not 100% exact, as some of the differences might be
due to the fact of me playing with the settings to persuade postfix to
get installed)

I also messed with the postfix.config file a bit, but to no useful effect.
So it's probably unclear whether the error is really caused by changes
in postfix or by changes in general debconf handling code (e.g. the
perl helper libs?!)
