What is the purpose of the catchall mailbox? If it is for fetchmail
to retrieve the message and revive the original recipients downstream,
you need the Postfix 2.x behaviour. Otherwise catchalls are a bad
idea, but if you really must have them (without one delivery per
original recipient), try:

        enable_original_recipient = no

With the introduction of DSN (not be confused with DNS) support in
Postfix 2.3 (not an official release yet), the above work-around may not
be sufficient, so the advice only holds for 2.0, 2.1 and 2.2. I have not
investigated how 2.3 behaves with the above setting, or whether there
is another way to restore post-rewriting duplicate elimination based
solely on the recipient address.

If my response solves your problem, the best way to thank me is to not
send an "it worked, thanks" follow-up. If you must respond, please put
"It worked, thanks" in the "Subject" so I can delete these quickly.
