I fixed this while refactoring some code, and only now realized there
was this bug report. The relevant changelog entry from dpkg 1.14.0 is:
* Refactor update-alternatives code, with the side effect that now
commands on non existing link group files will return an error code
(except for --remove, now). Closes: #273407
Thus closing this bug report.

guillem
