This is a limitation of old postconf implementations, and it is
unlikely that it will be patched (it may be sufficient to add an
entry to postconf/install_table.h and postconf/install_vars.h).
The Postfix 2.9 implementation is a complete rewrite that reports
debugger_command and more importantly, warns about unused parameters
in main.cf or master.cf (typically typos).
Postfix 2.10 brings incremental improvements: postconf reports the
expansion of $name in parameter values, reports parameters that
can't be set in main.cf (process_name, process_id), warns about
attempts to set such read-only parameters, and warns about an unknown
$name in parameter values (typically typos).
All this will help with Postfix troubleshooting and support. Folks
that run four-year old code will have something to look forward to.
