Code quality aside, I really don't think that it is appropriate for
Postfix to impose its packaging preferences on O/S distributions.
Packaging *is* the heart of their job, they do it well, Postfix
makes itself easy to be packaged via the postfix-files interface.

I think it would be a mistake to bundle code with Postfix that builds
packages. However if communities of users for a particular platform
construct re-usable packaging scripts, pointers to these can be provided
on the add-ons page.
