Hi

Just some additional info, after comparing other packages' maintainer scripts 
and seeing that all the ones I checked invoke update-alternatives without an 
absolute path name, I took a look at the policy and found this (ยง6.1):

> Programs called from maintainer scripts should not normally have a path
> prepended to them. Before installation is started, the package management 
> system checks to see if the programs ldconfig, start-stop-daemon, and update-

Maybe the best way would simply be to call update-alternatives without a 
prepended absolute path.

regards
Andreas
