Humpf. This shouldn't have worked, afaict from the documentation. At
least not without some fancy suffix setting on the director.

data = ${lookup{$local_part}nwildlsearch{/etc/exim/aliases}}
combined with this

^bob-: bob

in /etc/exim/aliases.

Of course you could also simply use a a nested lookup like

data = ${lookup{$local_part}lsearch{/etc/exim/aliases}{$value}\
   {${lookup{$local_part-*}lsearch{/etc/exim/aliases}}}}
