Hi Andreas,
The bug initially occurred on our server after the system was upgraded from
Ubuntu 16.04 to 18.04 (via do-release-upgrade). It turned out that the old
postfix configuration was not updated for some reason during the OS upgrade.
Running 'dpkg-reconfigure postfix' did not help either. I then removed postfix
installation completely (apt-get purge), manually removed /etc/postfix
directory, and reinstalled postfix from scratch. After that, I inspected /etc/
postfix and the .cf files were now properly generated from the 3.3.0 .proto
files but there were no 'postfix-files' file to be found in this directory.
Below is my /etc/postfix listing:
root@orlando:~# ls -lh /etc/postfix
total 64K
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 60 Sep 8 01:55 dynamicmaps.cf
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4.0K Aug 16 14:33 dynamicmaps.cf.d

There were no error messages during installation apart from the same warning
about missing 'postfix-files' file.
