This did not used to be the case for micro-releases where the TB approved the
micro-release exception (as is the case here). Back when I was doing this for
Ubuntu it was enough that the postfix passed it's test suite and it had been
smoke tested on a real system.

We do these updates in Debian routinely without anything more than that and
have never had a problem. I'd find it surprising that Ubuntu was being more
restrictive about post-release updates than Debian.
