Package: postfix
Version: 3.5.0-1
Hi,
currently the instance unit postfix@.service is linked with PartOf= to
the main postfix.service.
This results in a active postfix.service in case the instance
postfix@.service has failed to start.
Is this by design or is a stronger bonding appropriate?
E.g.: (the actual start failure is due to an unrelated SELinux misconfiguration)
