In /etc/aliases you probably have lines like that: # Person who should get root's mail #root: marc Maybe install should ask data for this alias and fill that lines unless specifically and emphatically declined? The big advantage is that this solves the issue in a general way instead for some specific cases like smart.
Firstboot creates an ordinary user for the person doing the install (sysadmin or sole user) - it would be useful if that user were to receive root's mail.
