Package: courier-mta
Version: 0.42.2-10
Severity: minor
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.

the documentation is insufficient.
