When using First.Last -> uid for local users, it is often desirable
to implement the expansion in aliases(5) rather than virtual(5), as
local forwarding (aliases RHS, .forward contents, ...) to F.L will work
correctly in that case.

This requires (as documented) support for bare F.L (no domain) lookups,
which can be coerced in LDAP using %u@domain.tld if all the F.L names
are in a single domain.
