It took me a while to find the information - there didn't seem to be a
lot on setting up system defaults beyond places saying 'use
update-alternatives' - I wasn't able to find a list that said 'if you
want to change the default x program, you need to look at alternative
y'. Is there such a list, for future reference?
Bump
I'd also like a list for future reference.

There's a README in /etc/alternatives that points to
update-alternatives, which is how I found it. I got "a" list of names by
looking at the entries in /etc/alternatives
ls /etc/alternatives | grep -v .gz
gives a crude list for use with:-
# update-alternatives --list <name>
Cheers
