Yes, it'd be nice if firstboot or the installer could do this. However, I highly, highly recommend not trying to have some program manage (or mangle!) entries in /etc/aliases. Instead:
root: :include: /etc/rootalias
and then have the program drop root aliases into its own clean, separate file.
I would prefer
root: :include: /etc/mail/rootalias
or maybe
root: :include: /etc/sysconfig/rootalias
(and things like a silent skip if that alias is already defined) but we are arguing here about details of an implementation.
I think that there is a general agreement that something of that sort would be highly desirable. Should there be a bugzilla RFE for that?
