yes, postfix shouldn't depend on virtual/pam. But the pam USE flag should stay, so we can optionally install /etc/pam.d/smtp file. In fact thats completely wrong; Postfix uses PAM to guess system users and to deliver their mail. The dependency is not needed because it is carried by the mailbase package.
