I am wondering if maybe kadmin should not be using update-alternatives. I think it is policy - although I can't find it right now - that update alternatives should only be used for similar commands, i.e. similiar command line parsing, does the same thing, etc. But I don't think any of this applies for kadmin. It could be very confusing if you are kadmin by hand, not realizing you are running the wrong command. Any thoughts? Maybe I should ask the MIT kerberos maintainer for opinions here also. -- Brian May @ Debian
