Yes.

No. It isn't necessary to have every alias_maps file in alias_database.
If hash:/etc/new_file is in alias_database, /etc/new_file.db will be
rebuilt either by 'newaliases' or by 'postalias /etc/new_file'. If it is
not in alias_database, /etc/new_file.db will be rebuilt only by
'postalias /etc/new_file'.

It is quite reasonable to just rebuild the .db with postalias whenever
the file changes.
