What I was trying to say was that as postfix depends on lsb-base, my parents will be getting this prompt when they run an update. It's not a user friendly question, so inexperienced user will do one of 2 things:
1: Get scared and decide the safest thing is to click Cancel
2: Just keep clicking Next until the dialog goes away

If they chose 1, they can't install any new updates until they deal with
this one somehow. If they choose 2, they are configuring posfix as an
"Internet Server" which opens a port for something that they don't need.

This might be better as a new bug, but you can decide what's best.
