This is starting to look a lot like /etc/alternatives a la debian, what |
| 12 |
was the reason for not using that solution from the start (for all |
| 13 |
packages that might have alternatives)? |

Wouldn't that be a more generic solution? (Have to admit I haven't |

looked at debian /etc/alternatives more than over a co-workers shoulder, |
