The current default for postfix has been there approximately forever. I don't
intend to change it in Debian, so if you take it up in Ubuntu, you'd have to
maintain the diff. While I understand the theory of the bug, I think that
changing a long standing default would also be very surprising to many users
and should generally be avoided.
