I just discovered an installability problem in olvwm due to bad
alternatives handling. Since that package does not exist in
squeeze/amd64 this was not noticed earlier.
I backported the related alternatives fixes from wheezy and added
cleanup for the "bad" alternative.
Diff is attached.
Is "squeeze" a valid upload target distribution? So far I used "stable",
but that hopefully changes its meaning soon, while my NMU would be
sitting in some DELAYED queue ...
