If /etc/aliases exists at install time, then it is left untouched, since
the admin obviously has what he wants there.  Your /etc/aliases is not
from a stock install of postfix, so it wouldn't have configured an alias
for root.

FWIW, the mail should be in /var/mail/nobody.

And replacing exim4 didn't correct the deficiency in exim4's alias file.
