Hi,

I think if we solve this broken dependency with the patch on the BTS, we
may end up with undesirable situation.

Scenario:
 1. only install postfix-doc without postfix
 2. later, install postfix
 --> no setup for readme_directory or html_directory

Solution1: (Pedantic)
In addition to the patch proposed, postinst of postfix needs to check
existence of postfix-doc package and if it exists, run postconf -e
line as a part of postinst.

Solution2: (I like this better for simplicity)
A bit more sloppy but simple solution is just move this  postconf -e
line to postinst of postfix package and run it even if postfix-doc does
not exist.  Then add postfix-doc to the recommends for postfix so you
have excuse if this minor feature does not work for installation without
postfix-doc.

Comment:
I do not understand why following still exist for postfix.
 Replaces: ... postfix-doc (<< 1.1.7-0)

Since postfix has postfix-doc package as I observe, why not just set
 Conflicts: ... postfix-doc (<< 1.1.7-0)
if the old postfix-doc (<< 1.1.7-0) causes problem?
