One thing I just thought about though was what about the packages. By default the postfix-current package won't work with your method, but will with mine because if it detects how sasl was compiled it will add mysql support(default in sasl). If its a config option, it will fail before postfix-current defaults to no mysql and sasl does the opposite.
