Actually you don't want
1. data = ${lookup{$local_part}lsearch{/etc/aliases}}
else
2. fallback to the '*' check.

but
1. data = ${lookup{$local_part}lsearch{/etc/aliases}}
2. run all other routers (local user, procmail, whatever)
3. fallback to the '*' check.

I think adding your router after mail4root would do the trick. Imho
this is material for the exim FAQ, not for the Debian package.
