In /etc/aliases you probably have lines like that:

# Person who should get root's mail
#root:          marc

Maybe install should ask data for this alias and fill that lines
unless specifically and emphatically declined?  The big advantage is
that this solves the issue in a general way instead for some
specific cases like smart.
