Actually, the problem here is that emacs-snapshot does follow the emacs21
example, and registers each subflavor as an emacs alternative.
Of course, in emacs21's case installing concurrent subflavors isn't
supported so that's not a problem.

Anyway, this is a good idea, so I've now changed the alternative
registration to register the emacs alternative only once.  And it also
exposed a bug in the current packaging: the editor alternative is
removed by each subflavor's prerm script even if there are still
subflavors installed!

Thanks,
