It's one way to solve the problem.  Just not one that I would
recommend. :)

The FAQ is (usually) self-service, meaning that anyone can edit it.
In this case, I think that a better solution exists on Sarge than the
one listed.

I doubt you're the only one.  But IIRC, the default MTA on Debian is
Exim.  So there are probably less users testing the postfix
integration in the packages.  That's my guess.
