While your README.Debian mentions newaliases, it does not explain the
distinction between /etc/courier/aliases and /etc/aliases.

I personally would have expected my /etc/aliases to be imported into
/etc/courier/aliases/system, or even for the latter to be a symbollic
link to the former.

Perhaps there is a compeling reason that this is not done; if so the
reasoning should at least be explained in README.Debian.

I have recently taken over the maintenance of the courier package.  I
apologize that nobody responded to your bug report.  Can you confirm if this
is still a problem with the current version of courier in Debian (1.4.10-10)?
