Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: emacs-snapshot


1. emacsclient comes bundled with emacs. 

2. emacsclient will *only* work correctly when the *correspondent* emacs
has started a server.

Therefore I would expect that /etc/alternatives/emacsclient would be a
slave (hate the terminology chosen) of the emacs master group in
/etc/alternatives, and not independent. Which is to say:

sudo update-alternatives --config emacs

should also update the emacsclient links.

** Affects: emacs-snapshot (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: Unconfirmed

** Description changed:
