Bug Description

For the networkless install testing of ubuntu server, I tried to install all tasks from tasksel on the 20120925 i386 and amd64 server images. Both failed when trying to install postfix:

Sep 26 17:41:03 in-target: dpkg: error processing postfix (--configure):
Sep 26 17:41:03 in-target: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 75
Sep 26 17:41:03 in-target: dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of bsd-mailx:
Sep 26 17:41:03 in-target: bsd-mailx depends on default-mta | mail-transport- agent; however:
Sep 26 17:41:03 in-target: Package default-mta is not installed.
Sep 26 17:41:03 in-target: Package postfix which provides default-mta is not configured yet.

Sep 26 17:41:07 main-menu[330]: WARNING **: Configuring 'pkgsel' failed with error code 1

postfix version seems to be 2.9.3-2ubuntu2
