Yes, that is a problem, as the vacation module has no way to know their
aliases.

Yes.

CVS HEAD, not sure about release versions, allow the user to specify the
alias(es) to use.  They can do this on their own, as long as they know
their aliases.

> Needless to say, my help desk would not be pleased.

Not sure if this is to lookup the aliases or what, so I can't comment.
 
> How are all of you handling this situation?

Newer versions let the user specify their aliases.  A hook that could be
set by the admin to lookup aliases in a site dependent way and populate the
alias field would be great, if anyone wants to take it on (or sponsor it
as a bounty).
