For some reason, alternatives won't work for urxvt for me.

% alternatives --display urxvt
path to alternate expected in /var/lib/alternatives/urxvt

I tried moving /var/lib/alternatives/urxvt away and rerunning the update-alternatives command from /etc/postinstall/rxvt-unicode-X.sh.done, but it produced an identical file.

This is a bug in the postinstall script. It used to work, so I'm not sure what changed -- but the postinstall SHOULD read:

${sbindir}/update-alternatives \
        --install ${bindir}/urxvt   urxvt   ${bindir}/urxvt-X.exe   30 \
        --slave   ${bindir}/urxvtc  urxvtc  ${bindir}/urxvtc-X.exe \
        --slave   ${bindir}/urxvtd  urxvtd  ${bindir}/urxvtd-X.exe

Note that the actual targets need .exe.

I'll fix this in the next release.  Thanks for the report.
