Without a way to reproduce the problem, and the fact that the conf file
in the package does not look like that, I don't think we have a bug
here. Combined with a lack of input for several years, I think it's
time this is put to rest.

I have just installed 8.10 and have suffered exactly the same problem.
Due to my attempt at upgrading an existing system having failed
spectacularly, this was a completely clean install, so the faulty init.d
file has to have come from the package.
The install also failed to create the /var/spool/
When you manually remove conffiles (anything in /etc) dpkg remembers
that and assumes you don't want them when you reinstall the package. So
what you report in your first comment is the package management system

Installed inside a VMware instance.
Basic install (just openssh and internet mail).
One of the clues (which didn't help me solve it, but gave me some places
to look) was:

I was trying to fix a postfix configuration install by doing a apt-get
remove postfix, removing /etc/postfix, and doing an apt-get install
postfix.
It seems like the apt-get install postfix does not do all the same steps
as on an initial install. I have not yet been able to fully confirm
this in
Moving off of Incomplete since this shouldn't get auto expired.

This bug is intermittently reported against postfix, and I have no idea
why the reporters' systems wind up with the wrong copy of /etc/postfix
/postfix-script installed (it's not the one that the package delivers.)
Reinstalling the package seems to fix the problem as well. This leads
me to believe

No, it is not different:

This is strange, because the script installed with Ubuntu 7.04 calls
/usr/sbin/postfix with the wrong syntax.
The commands "start" and "stop" have to be used with /usr/sbin/postfix, but
they are not. Maybe the script
/etc/init.d/postfix in your system comes from an old distribution, when it was
Just installed Ubuntu 7.04 from scratch and the bug is still there! The

I suspect the latter. This was my first Ubuntu installation on a
freshly-formatted partition, so it won't have been due to something left
