That's fair, I didn't invoked POSIX for the sake of POSIX, I didn't intended to propose a change which could break someone's else system so to fix my unusual superuser name, I simply tried to justify why not -user 0 or others sane solutions, but as you said that's not even enough but it did fixed for me (the alerts spam when Postfix was restarted by the package manager). To be clear, I only have this warning, it's not like Postfix "is broken" due the superuser name as some of conversation went, it's working fine.
