This has been fixed (with the help from Reinhard Schu) in the 2.11.1
package. It was a bug in postinst script.

Thanks for the hint! I've applied it.

I think I just had a broken setup some time ago, it was completely
empty. However now I can see a lot of services there so I think it is
safe to remove. Thanks again for the hint!

This is a default location hard built into postfix in src/util/sys_defs.h file:

#define ALIAS_DB_MAP    DEF_DB_TYPE ":/etc/aliases"

It can be redefined in the user config file. I was going to write a
patch but thought /etc/aliases is where users would look for it, so I
made a soft link. Do you think it is wrong?
