Package: dpkg Version: 1.13.25 There seems to me to be a gaping hole in the update-alternatives program in that there's all this talk about generic names but no mention of what they actually are, so it is hard to use the program. The only way it seems to me to find them is to use 'ls /etc/alternatives'. For now, the man and info pages should at least advise using 'ls /etc/alternatives'; better still would be to list the generic names in the man and info pages. In the longer, term a switch to list the generic names would be great.
