No worries, it was an easy fix - not necessarily an intuitive one.

/etc/aliases being the default on many unices I simply assumed that
you can point to a different alias file but the default one would be
read when the "alias_file=" is commented out, especially when
the config file doesn't contain "expand_aliases=true/false" it
seemed strange to me that alias_file would both point to an alias
file AND enable alias expansion.

Debian Policy seems to be aimed at maintainers and developers...
