Looks reasonable.  Thanks for the nudge on postsuper, too.

I'm inclined to do the full-whoop, though, with chkconfig,
start/stop/restart-reload, rebuiding the various databases, etc.  Basically
a postfixification of the current file.

Actually, I'll probably keep the current /etc/init.d/mail file as
/etc/init.d/mail_sendmail, have a postfix version as
/etc/init.d/mail_postfix, and the real /etc/init.d/mail will just check the
configuration and call one or the other of them.
