Bug#397042: exim4: missing manpage for /etc/aliases

[Osamu Aoki]

Package: exim4
Version: 4.63-9
Severity: wishlist

While sendmail comes with aliases manpage, exim doesnot come with it.

At lease it assumes everyone knows about its structure wnen special
limitation is discussed in README.Debian.  

Since exim4 and sendmail conflict each other, why not take man page for
aliases from sendmail and add pipe limitation and put it into exim4.
BSD->GPL is OK, I think.

I know example exists in /usr/share/doc/exim4.
