Public bug reported:
/usr/bin/geeqie is a symlink to /etc/alternatives/geeqie, which in turn
is a symlink to /usr/bin/geeqie-standard
In Precise this is unnecessary, since geeqie is the only package that
provides a program called geeqie, as can be seen with:
$ /usr/lib/command-not-found --ignore-installed geeqie
(Compare that with something like vi, where many packages are listed.)
The existence of geeqie-standard makes tab-completion less useful, since
it matches the same prefixes as geeqie itself, creating an ambiguity.
Renaming geeqie-standard to geeqie and no longer using the alternatives
system would avoid this.
** Affects: geeqie (Ubuntu)
