Actually it is in both, since /usr/sbin/update-alternatives is a symlink
to ../bin/update-alternatives.  It's been this way for a long time.

But at any rate, this check is wrong, because update-alternatives,
unlike, say, ucf or binfmt, isn't optional, it is part of dpkg and
is always present on a debian (-derived) system.  So there's just
no point in checking for its presence.  I removed it now.

Thank you for the bugreport.
