[Bug 1273202] [NEW] policyd-spf runs as nobody

Public bug reported:

Postfix is configured to execute policyd-spf as nobody rather than under
a separate user. This is bad practice and could be a security risk if
nobody is used by multiple daemons.

The attached patch fixes the problem only for people who install the
package for the first time and will not work if you do an upgrade. A
dedicated user account is already created during installation of
postfix-policyd-spf-python (1.0-1).

DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS
Package: amavisd-new-postfix 2.6.5-0ubuntu3.2
