aliases: remove hacky workaround for warnings on strings 

This causes confusing eval errors when not using these values (here:
`system`) in a string interpolation context.

The change will potentially be noisy for nix search. If we want a
deprecation period for this attribute instead of just throwing
immediately, we will have to accept this, at least temporarily.
