Thus, the install process could inspect the default aliases file and
not create mailboxes for "users" who are aliased to something else,
without any effect on Jack or Joe whose accounts are created with
adduser, not the installer.

Upon reflection, I think that only root should get one created by
default. Any other one should get created on demand (when you add a
user, when you install some service that creates a user that needs a
mailbox). You could ignore the aliases file, completely, creating
boxes for ordinary users when you create them, system users when mail
is sent to them.
