Neither, in my opinion. The confusion I was (possibly failing) to point 
out was that /etc/aliases is a text file (alias_maps) and alias_database 
is the database itself, and will have an extension to the filename, so 
although specified as /etc/aliases it will often be /etc/aliases.db.

What was unusual (but in no way wrong) was having the aliases file in 
/etc/mail, but as you say maybe that's a Gentoo-ism. I've not done a 
great deal with Gentoo for a year or so.
