Odd error in relation to postfix and /etc/cron.daily/apt-compat

Anyone else seen an odd error message from /etc/cron.daily/apt-compat today?
I'm seeing this on both my desktop PC and on my mail server (both Excalibur).

Otherwise postfix seems to be working OK.

It seems to have been triggered by an update to postfix that landed (in my case in unattended upgrades) yesterday.
There is a new postfix-script but it's in /lib/postscript/sbin not /etc/postfix and the others exist but only dating from an earlier update.

/etc/cron.daily/apt-compat:
tar: .remove-on-upgrade /etc/postfix/postfix-script: Not found in archive
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors
tar: .remove-on-upgrade /etc/network/ip-down.d/postfix: Not found in archive
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors
tar: .remove-on-upgrade /etc/postfix/post-install: Not found in archive
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors

Maybe just an error in the postifix upgrade deb?
