Hello,
I am setting up Mailman 2.1.4-1 on Debian/GNU with postfix-mysql 2.0.16-4. I was googling around and I noticed that I need the newlist -o option to synchronize mailman and /etc/postfix/aliases. but my version of bin/newlist does not support this option.
$/usr/sbin/newlist -h Create a new, unpopulated mailing list.
Usage: /usr/sbin/newlist [options] [listname [listadmin-addr [admin-password]]]
Options:
-l language
--language language
Make the list's preferred language `language', which must be a two
letter language code.
-q/--quiet
Normally the administrator is notified by email (after a prompt)
that their list has been created. This option suppresses the prompt and notification.
-h/--help
Print this help text and exit.
Well I think you know the out put ;-) For a former version I was hacking /usr/sbin/newlist, but this should not be the way Any ideas?

It was removed in favor of modular MTA-specific methods, keeping in mind that 2.1.4 has to be able to support creation and deletion thru the web interface. I'm not familiar with the Debian package arrangements, but as described in README.POSTFIX, you probably want to set MTA = 'Postfix'. This will cause Mailman to maintain its own separate aliases file, so then you'd want to tell postfix to read both. See also the "genaliases" script if you get this set up and are missing aliases for previously created lists.
