Ok, now I check that:
jari:~# update-alternatives --verbose --install /usr/bin/editor editor
/usr/bin/xemacs21 -100
Alternative for editor points to /usr/bin/xemacs21 - which wasn't found.
Removing from list of alternatives.
Checking available versions of editor, updating links in /etc/alternatives ...
(You may modify the symlinks there yourself if desired - see `man ln'.)
Leaving editor (/usr/bin/editor) pointing to /usr/bin/vim.
update-alternatives: unable to make /usr/man/man1/editor.1.gz.dpkg-tmp a

lrwxr-xr-x 1 root root 28 Apr 28 2004
/etc/alternatives/editor.1.gz -> /usr/share/man/man1/vim.1.gz
Now I look what update-alternatives thinks internally:
cat /var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/editor
auto
/usr/bin/editor
editor.1.gz
/usr/man/man1/editor.1.gz

I change /usr/man/man1/editor.1.gz -> /usr/share/man/man1/editor.1.gz
Now I can purge xemacs21-bin. Ok.

Installing works now. I'll check on another alpha later and let you
know the results.
Thanks for you quick help so far!
