You don't need to do this with aliases at all (unless you want to).
Something like this
local_part_suffix = -*
local_part_suffix_optional
in a router will cause Exim to disregard the -anything suffix when routing
the message (but it will still be there for processing in a filter file
etc). There's a complete example at
http://www.exim.org/exim-html-4.30/doc/html/spec_42.html#SECT42.7 which does
some very qmail-like things.
