Package: postfix
Version: 2.3.8-2+etch1
Severity: normal
On update, the postins script of postfix unconditionally sets the
inet_protocols field to the one stored in the debconf db without any warning
and without backing up main.cf before changing it. Thus this change
is hiden from the unaware admin and cannot be traced back later.
IMHO the postinst script should leave main.cf untouched in case
it has been edited by hand and in any case macke a .dpkg-old backup
of the old, unchanged main.cf.
A warning that main.cf will be changed should be shown and the
admin asked whether this is ok or not.
