As Mark Patruck has noticed, etc/mail/aliases.db in etc.tgz ends up with the owner:group of the aliases file in the source tree.
The problem is that we call makemap with the source tree file instead of the DESTDIR one, and makemap gives the .db file the owner:group of the input file. This error was introduced with the sendmail->smtpd switch. ok?
