There was some discussion about the view alternative on debian-devel
last year and the mime-support maintainer had agreed that /usr/bin/see
shouldn't be part of that alternative set.  It doesn't seem like that
change has happened yet, though.

I'd prefer to just leave things be and let things settle out on their
own once the see alternative is gone.
