This is starting to look a lot like /etc/alternatives a la debian, what
was the reason for not using that solution from the start (for all
packages that might have alternatives)?
Wouldn't that be a more generic solution? (Have to admit I haven't
looked at debian /etc/alternatives more than over a co-workers shoulder,
but it seemed appealing)
