Can you isolate
1) Does the link already exist in some tarball (almost certaily no).
2) Does the link get made by some earlier invocation of
update-alternatives?
3) Can you ascertain exactly where it gets created?
4) Does it do the same thing if you do everything by hand?
I'm really just replying to this to acknowledge your message. I know
that nothing I've written above is something you couldn't do on your own
(and probably already have), but I saw your "was this a faux pas"
message and just wanted to send the acknowledgement.
