* On upgrade from packages that shipped less in both /bin and /usr/bin,
call update-alternatives in preinst, such that after unpacking,
/usr/bin/pager remains operational.
The minimal change is probably moving
update-alternatives --quiet --remove pager /bin/less
from postinst to preinst. The pager alternative will fallback to 'more'
at least until the new alternative is set up. Strictly speaking it is
probably the most correct thing to do, as 'pager' is never left

Thinking about it.
Can we add update-alternatives to preinst/upgrade, similar to how it is
done in postinst/configure?

To manage
We must not change the location of binaries from /bin to /usr/bin or
vice-versa, inside the deb.
It doesn't matter on freshly installed systems that have usr-merge, but
breaks upgraded systems.
This must be reverted.
