/etc/mail is what the sendmail distribution calls it, and it would
hurt independant upgrades if it was named differently (for example,
people that install 1.4.2 but want a newer sendmail).

is it not possible for /etc/aliases to be a link to /etc/mail/aliases?
for things that need to read the flat file, that would suffice.
