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.
For more information please consult:
- the update-alternatives(8) manual page
