Hi, thanks for your bug report.
The question about root/postmaster is only asked if /etc/aliases does not exist. I guess this is for historical reasons. /etc/aliases is not a conffile belonging to exim, so we can create it if it does not exist, but must not mess with it once it exists because it is not our conffile. I agree that this is not pretty, but I don't have an idea about how to solve this dilemma. Workaround is to edit /etc/aliases with an editor.
