Problem is, procmail does not expand aliases when used like this 
so mail from daemons to root etc ends up in the wrong places.

It is not procmail’s job to expand aliases as it is an LDA, not an MTA. smtp 
should be able to do this if it’s a proper MTA.

Coding the alias expansion myself should not be too difficult but
perhaps it has been done before?

I imagine it will be a lot more complicated than you may think.
