Makes perfect sense.

You could also try to replace "use Debconf::Client::ConfModule" by
"use Debian::Debconf::Client::ConfModule". But since this thing was
obviously never tested with such old a debconf version, there may be
other catches as well.

Well, the "right" way is probably to just upgrade debconf (with the
mass of perl upgrade it generates). All others naturally include some
hacking.
BTW, if you feel like it, you may report a bug on postfix. It should
depend on a newer debconf. Just mentioning "debconf" in its
dependencies means that it works with all versions, which is obviously
not the case.
