Package: postfix Version: 2.11.3-1 Severity: wishlist Postfix asks everyone about synchronous queue updates. I believe this is too noisy for most users.
First, I think the warning is too dramatic: I have never lost mails during a crash as described, and besides, journaling filsystems like ext3 are pretty much the norm now. Anyone using a different filesystem should know better and can do that configuration on their own. Second, upstream used to do that themselves... back in 1998. That has stopped since 2002! It seems to me we are being too conservative here by annoying everyone who installs Postfix on Debian with that silly question. Please remove the prompt or demote it to `-plow`.
