Do "sudo touch /etc/init.d/postfix" to create the file (which will be empty, but we don't care because you're creating it so that it can be removed successfully). If there are other problems with the package, you might want to do 'dpkg -L postfix' to get a list of the files that it's looking for, and see if they're all there or if other bits have been nuked. If they have, you might want to create those as well - essentially, the error you're getting is the pre-removal script encountering errors, which almost certainly means it's expecting a file to exist which has been manually removed. dpkg experts might be able to point out an equivalent to "rpm --verify"; last time I looked it had no such feature though (sadly, and bizarrely).
