Note, I was not saying whether you have or don't have a "samples"
directory on disk. Rather your main.cf or an override set during
the build contains a setting for the Postfix "sample_directory"
installation parameter that contains white-space.

I don't think this alone will trigger a 2.11.5 release, it is not
even a bug (though I am big fan of meticulous application of
double-quote in shell scipts), since Postfix file names are required
to be free of such whitespace. But, if there is a 2.11.5 release,
perhaps the safety net Wietse is adding will be part of that.
To get the package installation to work on your server fix the
main.cf or other setting that is generating a "sample_directory"
value with white-space.
