Package: dpkg Version: 1.16.15 Severity: normal Dear Maintainers of dpkg,
one of the great freatures of dpkg is that every file and symlink created is listed in /var/lib/dpkg/info/<packagename>.list . This allows e.g. to check if the system is "clean" by comparing all files to their checksums (using debsums) and by checking that there are no other files and symlinks than those listed in /var/lib/dpkg/info/*.list . Unfortunately, although update-alternatives is a part of the dpkg package, it seems to have been forgotten to list the created symlinks in /var/lib/dpkg/info/alternatives.list . It would be great if someone could fix this.
