Script to setup postinstall alternatives is actually called gnuplot-base.dash
and the executable name does not look as if alternatives will use it:
$ tar -x -O \
-f mirror/x86_64/release/gnuplot/gnuplot-base/gnuplot-base-5.4.rc2-0.tar.xz \
etc/postinstall/gnuplot-base.dash
/usr/sbin/alternatives --install /usr/bin/gnuplot gnuplot
/usr/bin/gnuplot-{BB}.exe 10
AFAIK alternatives is not going to do anything special with gnuplot-*{BB}*.exe:
perhaps intended to be generated with "*$*{BB}" == "base" but missing *$*?
