Yes, I am aware of it, but the point is that a combination like joe
selected as the alternative for editor, and /etc/jupp/jupprc for
editorrc (or the other way around) won't work.

Sorry, I checked in the wrong place.

No, the alternative name can be different from from the name of the
file referring to it.

According to the changelog entry for joe 3.5-1, sadly not:

  * Stop shipping fixed /etc/joe/editorrc and instead add all our
    versions as alternatives to it. Unfortunately it doesn't work as a
    slave alternative to the main editor alternative, but this is as
    close as it can get, closes: #269334.

(Unless, perhaps, update-alternatives changed in the meantime?)
