postfix upgrade-configuration reports extraneous files

[Ralf Hildebrandt]

Binary package hint: postfix

root@www:/etc/postfix# postfix upgrade-configuration

    Note: the following files or directories still exist but are no
    longer part of Postfix:

     /etc/postfix/postfix-files /etc/postfix/postfix-script
     /etc/postfix/post-install

Theses files belong to the "postfix" package:
# dpkg -S /etc/postfix/postfix-files
postfix: /etc/postfix/postfix-files
# dpkg -S /etc/postfix/postfix-script
postfix: /etc/postfix/postfix-script
# dpkg -S /etc/postfix/post-install
postfix: /etc/postfix/post-install

Maybe they can be removed?

# apt-cache policy postfix
