 Actually Samuel L. Nielsen said that the patch will not solve the
 problem "forever" nor "for some time", because it will install the
 wrong version of postfix during an ftp-install. See the commit message
 for src/usr.sbin/sysinstall/config.c revision 1.224 .
 IMHO Samuel is right: it's not easy to fix this issue, so hardcoding
 the version number is the only solution I can see at the moment.
 Thank you for your attention.
 Best Regards.
