I think the "intentional maintainer choice" has long proved unwise.
So though not a bug, it is definitely misfeature. Since the default
chroot is far from seamless:
- Lost logs
- Milter socket problems
- SASL problems
- DNS resolution problems
- ...
If the level of integration were such that none of these issues
were to ever happen, I'd accept this as a valid maintainer choice.
Given that problems come up all the time, I rather see this is a
maintainer mistake that should finally be corrected.
Chroot is for experts willing and able to figure out what needs to
be done to get it working. As a default Debian/Ubuntu configuration
I think it just needlessly gives Postfix on these systems a bad
name.
