You make it sound like this is a configuration problem. It is not. Since
postfix does not run suid root it is impossible for it to deliver mail
to the root account.

I do not seen this as a problem. Root mail on a postfix system will goto
the postfix user unless you change the alias in /etc/postfix/aliases.
They were talking about using /etc/aliases not /etc/postfix/aliases for all
MTA's i would suggest as a default that roots mail get written to a mail user
that could be there for all MTA's
Dennis
What kind of solution would you want for a non-problem?
