Package: gcc
Version: 2:2.95.4-5
Severity: wishlist
gcc should use 'update-alternative', so that user can define
easily (and in a std manner) the default compiler.

we explicitely do NOT use alternatives for gcc. gcc is the system
compiler (like other "system" components libc and binutils) and should
not be changed. There is no "alternative" as the system compiler. If
you want to use gcc-3.0 please add CC=xx and CXX=xx to configure/make
or else divert the binaries (dpkg-divert(1)). Be sure to undo these
changes before uploading packages compiled with the changed configuration.
