I've found that I need to create a .forward in root's home dir and enter the appropriate user's name in it. Also - you have run newaliases to update your aliases? postfix is generally quite reliable. If you are using logwatch, then I would also suggest you modify logwatch.conf in /etc/log.d/ to point to the user. Generally the .forward does the trick though.

Since I have the same problem, I checked my /etc/aliases. The alias to my user name was already there - but I still don't receive system mail... What could be the next step?
Same here: I receive some, not all. The packages installation mails were lost in nowhere.
Yes, something is broken and has been for several releases now. It is not an alias issue, it's something in the YOU update script that no longer works.
