Bug#793331: RFS: postsrsd/1.2-1 [ITP]

Hi,

I think that we either:

   * need hard dependency on postfix
   * need to have a debconf dialog that goes more or less like that:
     - if postconf exists, the domain is taken from there
     - if not, the current hostname is taken
     - then a debconf dialog is shown prefilled with these defaults
     - the obtained domain name is used in init scripts

Waht do you think? Tell me if you need help with the second.
The second option seems sensible, I've pushed an implementation. Let me know what you think. 


I think that a sensible thing to do would be to provide POSTSRSD_OPTS
as 'Environment=...' and then pull a config file with
'EnvironmentFile=-...' (which may contain various configs in comments
too).  It seems to be sort-of standard. And, right, if you also use
debconf, then you probably need to pull a file created created in
postinst.
I'd prefer to keep separate variables for the most common options. A single options variable will be quite cryptic (as postsrsd doesn't support long options), and that will make it harder to change a setting without having to pull the manpage. Duplicating a few defaults is a small price to pay for ease of configuration in my opinion. We could add a options variable to add additional command-line options, though I doubt it will be used much. 

Cheers,
Oxan
