[Bug 777356] Re: [fixed upstream, regression] Postfix smtp does not skip unknown XFORWARD attributes, causing SMTP syntax errors

[Matthias Andree]

Guys, can we please stop distracting with lame excuses for not going for
bugfix releases, or backports of another feature release?

This particular regression was already fixed by the upstream maintainers
in a particular bugfix-only release series of Postfix (2.7.1 is 2.7.0 +
fixes), so any any further discussion is a waste of time. Any breaking-
out of particular fixes to keep SRU policies not only misses further
fixes that have been tested and released by the upstream, but also
entails the risk of breaking the patched version.

Let's get 2.7.3 into -proposed, shout for testers and see if regression-
proposed bugs crop up, and re-release through -updates if nothing bad
happens.

I understand that few packages qualify for release-updates, but I know
how strict Wietse is about changes to a .0 release. And it's certainly
not the user's fault that ancient versions got picked up in the release
rolling process - these, too, need care. And in particular, regression
fixing.
