My understanding now is that the resolver *tolerates* search domains
starting with a ".", stripping it off. This is very visible in the code
snipped posted by Sergio:

 if (dname[0] == '.')
  dname++;

and this is the reason "search ." is not really documented: it's not
really useful as in practice it is not different from having no search
domain at all.

However, given that "search ." is for some reason not that rare, I think
it makes sense to make the postfix postinst script tolerate it. The fix
only requires a small change in a regexp.
