Public bug reported:
bsdmainutils uses update-alternatives for its write and from utilities,
but uses a symbolic link (hd -> hexdump). It would be better to use
update-alternatives to manage this symbolic link.
I'm attaching a patch that would add the appropriate update-alternatives
command to debian/postinst. The patch also adds commands to remove
usr/bin/hd and rename the hd man page to bsd-hd (the update-alternative
command slaves bsd-hd.1.gz -> hd.1.gz if it is selected).
