AFAIK the default for smtpd_delay_reject was always "yes".

This was surely not the case; postconf.5.html#smtpd_delay_reject
explains that it only improves logging, and the chances that a
rejection will "stick" with bad clients. If smtpd_delay_reject
delayed a rejection, it is ONLY a delay. It was to be rejected
anyway.

Wrong solution. The right solution was to overwrite the old files
with their *.new equivalents, except for the two which matter, and
are handled by "postfix upgrade-configuration": main.cf and
master.cf. The others are probably the ones which are there for
information and reference. (YMMV, if you have included files of
similar names in your configuration.)
(I'm familiar with the package build script that Rich is talking
about.)
