This looks good thanks, I suspect maybe we do not have any devs using
Debian to confirm all this works so we might have to trust your

I use Debian and I can confirm the Debian alternatives system exists.
Do we need (to maintain) this? This is a Debian feature which is
documented by Debian. It is beyond our control and it may change.
Perhaps a pointer to their docs would be better?
We have Forrest specific commands on that page for various OS's, just
as likely to change and/or deprecation as the Debian one provided.
You are correct.
I think a link to the docs at
http://www.debian.org/doc/FAQ/ch-customizing.en.html (Debian does not have
good docs it seems) and a
mention of the specific Forrest command is a good compromise, will leave
out the rest that can be gleaned from Debian docs.
Feel free to include it all. I responded before looking over the rest of
the page, and the Debian bit no longer feels out of place. I was rushing.
