Sure that they get the mail twice only because of the shown setup?
I just tested it:

    /etc/aliases:
    team:   heiko, www-data


Then

    date | exim heiko team


And checked the log:

    2011-05-17 13:53:24 1QMIq4-00086Z-IT TO: heiko@???, team@??? (2)
    2011-05-17 13:53:24 1QMIq4-00086Z-IT <= root@??? U=root P=local S=339
    2011-05-17 13:53:24 1QMIq4-00086Z-IT => www-data <team@???> R=localuser T=local_delivery
    2011-05-17 13:53:24 1QMIq4-00086Z-IT => |procmail <heiko@???> R=userforward T=address_pipe


This is conforming to the specs:

    3.11 Duplicate addresses
    ------------------------


    Once routing is complete, Exim scans the addresses that are assigned to local
    and remote transports, and discards any duplicates that it finds. During this
    check, local parts are treated as case-sensitive. This happens only when
    actually delivering a message; when testing routers with -bt, all the routed
    addresses are shown.



May be, you where confused from the routers debug output or from

    exim -bt


this still shows the complete routing.
But, may be, *I* am wrong somewhere.
