Yes, I'm sure. I ran lddd on my system which uses the testing repo with 
these offenders installed and it didn't detected any errors. I also 
manually ran ldd on the bins and libs just to be sure. You can keep the 
rebuilt postfix as you updated it and the rebuilds that were already in 
testing as I did't checked them and move them in extra with 
postgresql-libs.
