The prerm script of courier-mta does not remove two manpage
alternatives. The following patch corrects the problem:

First of all, this update-alternatives never worked very well for courier,
don't know why.
The manpage says:
--remove name path
Remove an alternative and all of its associated slave links.
name is a name in the alternatives directory, and path is an
absolute filename to which name could be linked. If name is
indeed linked to path, name will be updated to point to another
appropriate alternative, or removed if there is no such alterna
tive left. Associated slave links will be updated or removed,
correspondingly. If the link is not currently pointing to path,
no links are changed; only the information about the alternative
is removed.
So update-alternatives should remove these manpage links by itself, right ?
