Is this because postfix thinks the One True Binary Owner should be
"root"?  There's no setuid programs in postfix, so if you've got BINOWN
set then I think it should be assumed that you know what you're doing.

Perhaps postfix-script should be installed with the current setting of
$BINOWN instead of a hard-coded "root"?
