yeah, Anas' comment made that clear.  In concept anyway, alternatives is
designed for this kind of problem where multiple pkgs may install something
similar, and you also want to have an install-order-independent way (via
priorities)
of selecting a preferred one from a  set of choices you may not know about
up front. that's why I thought of it. but if it's gone it's gone (note
they're not really
directly tied together, chkconfig and alternatives, although I realize
Fedora
packages it that way because they have a way for alternatives to also invoke
chkconfig in a particular case).
