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.
