I should have been more accurate: where I see /etc/aliases is in
ascii installs that include exim4. No idea what the jessie installer does.

And looking at an ascii install made some time ago, just
with ssh server and standard packages installed in the tasksel phase (IIRC),
there is no /etc/aliases nor exim4.

Now I see exim4 in Devuan is not standard priority anymore.

I see code to do it in /var/lib/dpkg/info/exim4-config.* (perhaps it does
it just in some cases).
