For the second problem, perhaps it would also help if the names of the
links in the alternatives directory were a hash of the program name.
E.g.
/usr/bin/gs -> /etc/alternatives/9ad6a289eea9c92be09d3a5a8bc737e6
/etc/alternatives/9ad6a289eea9c92be09d3a5a8bc737e6 -> /usr/bin/gs-x11
where 9ad6a289eea9c92be09d3a5a8bc737e6 is the md5sum of "/usr/bin/gs".
This would make it much more obvious that the links were managed, or
at least give one pause for thought before diving in.
