[Bug 717298] [NEW] dovecot-postfix upgrade overrides main.cf

Public bug reported:

After upgrading dovecot-postfix, my postfix configuration file
(/etc/postfix/main.cf) had been overwritten without warning. This caused
me to lose several customizations including postgrey and DNS RBLs.

The expected behavior would be the upgrade should warn me that the conf
file was being overwritten and allowed me to keep my existing
configuration.
