actually, here's another simple suggestion for the install procedure:

create a simple

alias.default

file containing a few basics (postmaster, webmaster, etc.)

during the install script, look for /etc/aliases, if present,
report that, if missing, install the exim default and report on that.

it should look an awful lot like the code that installs the
configuration file.
