Postfix does not require TLS support. This probably shouldn't change.

Postfix logs a warning if TLS is enabled but not available.  This
probably shouldn't change.

That said, it's not unreasonable to change postfix-install to run
the postfix tls commands during first-time installation if TLS is
available. This might make things easier for first-time casual users
and probably won't trip up more experienced users.
