Hello, debian/mate-terminal.postinst contains this line:
    x-terminal-emulator /usr/bin/mate-terminal.wrapper 30 \

That means that it "races" with lxterm for being the preferred
terminal in an installed system:

$ update-alternatives --config x-terminal-emulator
There are 5 choices for the alternative x-terminal-emulator (providing
/usr/bin/x-terminal-emulator).

  Selection    Path                            Προτε Status
------------------------------------------------------------
* 0            /usr/bin/lxterm                  30        auto mode
  1            /usr/bin/koi8rxterm              20        manual mode
  2            /usr/bin/lxterm                  30        manual mode
  3            /usr/bin/mate-terminal.wrapper   30        manual mode
  4            /usr/bin/uxterm                  20        manual mode
  5            /usr/bin/xterm                   20        manual mode

Press <enter> to keep the current choice[*], or type selection number:

So, upping that "30" to "40" would prevent lxterm from being preferred
over mate-terminal in 50% of the installations.
Gnome-terminal also uses "40" there.

Thank you.
