Norbert,

Thank you for your prompt response.

That's possible . . . but I wonder how one can find out?

I had done this before submitting my report:

$ dpkg -L xdvik-ja | grep /usr/bin/xdvi
$ dpkg -L texlive-binaries | grep /usr/bin/xdvi
/usr/bin/xdvi-xaw
/usr/bin/xdvipdfmx
/usr/bin/xdvi
$ \ls -lF /usr/bin/xdvi
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1863 Nov 19 16:08 /usr/bin/xdvi*
$

/usr/bin/xdvi is not a symbolic link.  The executable
must have been installed by an official Debian package.
As the above output shows, the xdvik-ja package doesn't
include the executable /usr/bin/xdvi but texlive-binaries
does.  So, the executable must be from texlive-binaries.

. . . Apparently this logic is somehow wrong.
Can xdvik-ja replace /usr/bin/xdvi ?  But, in that case,
shouldn't it use Debian's "alternative" system?
Why doesn't the package xdvik-ja create a symlink
to /etc/alternative/*  ?

Regards,
Ryo
