    i've also had this problem, and found the solution by stumbling
    upon this bug report. a quick patch would be simple enough in the
    postinst:

    + if getent group sasl > /dev/null; then
    + usermod -G sasl postfix
    + fi

    which should be idempotent, and if the user doesn't have the
    sasl stuff installed, dpkg-reconfigure postfix would do the
    trick at a later point. you could also perhaps create the group if
    it didn't exist, but that might be a bit trickier and it'd involve
    coordinating with the sasl maintainer to make sure that both packages
    would get along fine with such a system.

    also, putting a note about this in the SASL_README
    might be helpful.
