Not just "those" files, but rather *any* files not included in
the base package. And the filenames included need to be correct.
IIRC the Debian manpages are compressed, but the filenames in
the postfix-files file have no ".gz" suffix. There are likely
some additional anomalies.

Sure provided both are installed by the same package, or both
packages merge the relevant entry into a common file. And of
course, deal with ".gz" extensions as needed.

Nothing built-in, since packaging detais are out of scope.
The idea would be to *intersect* the content of each package with
matching names from the upstream postfix-files file, and create the
appropriate per-package files for postfix-files.d/.
