After upgrading from 3.9.1-4, the postfix instance failed to start.
Here are hopefully relevant excerpts from the journal:

Please add -f option for cp invocation in 
/usr/lib/postfix/configure-instance.sh.
I dropped it somewhere in the rebase.

Actually it doesn't work, have to rm whole subdir first.
It's interesting how I haven't come across this issue,
after reinstalling so many times - while the actual issue
is trivial to trigger by upgrading from a real previous
version.

And the piuparts test hasn't catched it.

What works around this is to add `rm -rf $dest' right before `mkdir -p $dest'
in the certs copying loop.

Thanks,
