Followup-For: Bug #668439 Control: tag -1 patch Hi,
I'm attaching a minimal fix to the prerm script that fixes two issues: * unregister the alternative in prerm remove * keep the alternative untouched during upgrades - removing and readding it everytime could overwrite any user customization. I intend to NMU this package in a few days with the above patch applied. Andreas
