In /etc/aliases you probably have lines like that:
# Person who should get root's mail
#root: marc
Maybe install should ask data for this alias and fill that lines
unless specifically and emphatically declined? The big advantage is
that this solves the issue in a general way instead for some
specific cases like smart.
Firstboot creates an ordinary user for the person doing the install (sysadmin
or sole user) - it would be useful if that user were to receive root's mail.
