Of course it should be fine to keep your config files, though you want
to check that the syntax hasn't changed (I expect that would be very
rare). I do believe there's a proper upgrade procedure for postfix,
something like `postfix upgrade-configuration` once the new version is
installed. If you're concerned then it's not a bad idea to run postmap
on your map files again (I believe it's possible for those files to
break due to different versions of the db libraries used to
create/read them).

Aeh... I dunno if I'd really call that a solution. For the record, I
happened to upgrade a box to Jaunty myself earlier today. It's a very
plain web+mail setup, recently provisioned so there's nothing special
on it at all. My ldd output for smtpd:

Assuming you did the upgrade correctly I don't imagine you should've
run into any problems. Uninstalling and reinstalling postfix as a fix
sounds like there was actually a problem with your binaries, which
shouldn't be the case if your system is stock (though I admit little
knowledge when it comes to library-linking; would two versions of
libdb cause spontaneous problems..?).
