none of my postinst files on this system installed a news user.

I'm not that familiar with postfix myself, but it looks like the
postinst calls newaliases and does some other work with /etc/aliases -
that's probably the source of it.

two 'news' aliases

[martin f krafft]

my fresh woody system now has two news aliases:

  daemon: root
  bin: root
  [...]
  news: root
  [...]
  gnats: root
  nobody: root

  hostmaster: root
  usenet: root
  news: root
  webmaster: root

this should not be, newaliases complains. however, grepping through
/var/lib/dpkg/info for either 'aliases' or 'news' revealed no
information. how did it get there? a bug should be filed...
