Let me rephrase that.

* The question should be in that part were you create the first user on 
the system (and after the user creating step, disregarding if you have 
added a user or not)
* You can chose
- keep /etc/aliases as is (this is how it has been for years)
- add the newly created user (if you added one)
- add a remote user or users (user at somewhere.else)
- or add a combination of local user and remote user(s)

If you do an install where this question (add a new user) does not 
appear, /etc/aliases will be intact and mail will be sent to root, just 
as it has been done for years. If you do an even more esoteric install, 
you probably know how to change /etc/aliases yourself, and no action 
will be taken.

Hope this made it a bit more clearer.
