"postfix-current" broken on amd64 platform

[Pav Lucistnik]

1) The problem is not amd64 specific

2) No point unmarking BROKEN, it currently fails on i386 pointyhat nodes
too

3) Diagnosis is hard because the postfix-install shell script prints no
useful progress messages

Example failure log:
http://pointyhat.freebsd.org/errorlogs/i386-errorlogs/e.8.20111103071512/postfix-current-2.9.20111012,4.log

Two sausages are in a frying pan. One says, "Geez, it's hot in here
isn't it?" And the other one says, "Aaaaaah! A talking sausage!"
