Attached is the same patch, but for after postfix has been installed. I'm guessing the last one was designed for the source of the package. This patch has indentation and filename (/etc/init.d/postfix) for patching postfix after it has been installed, for people like me who came upon this and just want to easily apply it to their system.
sudo patch -p0 < postfix-copy-host.conf-to-chroot.patch
