Bug#382957: wish: include update-alternatives entries for emacsen

2006-08-14 Thread João Batista
Package: emacsen-common
Version: 1.4.17
Severity: wishlist

It would be nice to allow the selection of the default emacs flavour, 
installed in the system, with update-alternatives. Of course, the user
can do this manually, but it makes more sense if there is a standard
way to do this through e.g. update-alternatives, such as there is for
the vi packages.

Doesn't `update-alternatives --config emacs' do what you want?
