maintainer-script-sets-alternative-improperly
The maintainer script calls update-alternatives --set
<alternative> foo or update-alternatives --config
<alternative> or update-alternatives --set-selections.
This makes it impossible to distinguish between an alternative that's manually set because the user set it and one that's manually set because the package set it.
| Severity: | warning |

| Renamed from: | maintainer-script-should-not-use-update-alternatives-set |
