I think the removal of the default alias was a good move, to allow each 
provider to make their own choice. The solution for postmaster alias's 
depend on your own policies as a hosting provider. For a small company 
with only a few domains, some might like postmaster@* to go to the admin 
account. However, other larger companies might like postmaster at domain to 
go to sysadmin at domain

I personally like the 2nd option. I create a postmaster alias for each 
vsite I create to route postmaster mail to the sysadmin. This lets each 
site admin deal with postmaster/spam complaint related issues themselves...

Regards,
Greg.
