Yes, I prefer to transport, too.  However, if the user starts with
setting not enabling multiple virtual hosts, using aliases is easier.

My favorite setting is described here:
  http://sympa-ja.org/wiki/Virtual_domain_%28Postfix%29/Real_Virtual_Domain

where no regexp/pcre maps are used.  I suppose such catch-all map is
not so good idea, because they may generate backscatter, unintentional
bounce storm.
