  When no users are created by the installer, there is nothing to add to
/etc/aliases and as I noted before, user creation is an optional step
within the installer.  I don't see anything in your proposal that
addresses this.

As I mentioned before, /etc/aliases will in that case be intact and mail
will be sent to root, just as it has been done for years.

Let me rephrase that.

* The question should be in that part were you create the first user on the system (and after the user creating step, disregarding if you have added a user or not)
* You can chose
- keep /etc/aliases as is (this is how it has been for years)
- add the newly created user (if you added one)
- add a remote user or users (user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx)
- or add a combination of local user and remote user(s)

If you do an install where this question (add a new user) does not appear, /etc/aliases will be intact and mail will be sent to root, just as it has been done for years. If you do an even more esoteric install, you probably know how to change /etc/aliases yourself, and no action will be taken.

Hope this made it a bit more clearer.
