Thanks for the answer; though unconvincing. Don't see any reason why we
have a castrated package and no obvious way to get a full one. Yes, I
tried dpkg-reconfigure, but it never proposed a full install.
I saw the postfix-doc, but I don't really need it. vi main.cf usually
gets me where I want.
I don't want MySQL neither, so why install ? I don't need perl-stuff,
neither. So why install ?
I would understand a cut-down /etc/postfix with a full one elsewhere; but
then reconfigure should ask and enable it.
He, am I the only one missing transport maps and stuff ??

I know this URL. "Why make things easy when you can make them complicated
?" It is much easier to find all options in an option file; with empty
fields or commented; then an empty option file and up to the user to
search, find and copy & paste these options into the options file and set
them properly. Really wonder who invented this folly !?
Another effort: where, in which package, can I find the complete set of
option files, please ?
