Are you sure we need alternatives for something like libmpi_cxx.so.0 which the 'other' (ie LAM) doesn't have? AFAIK update-alternatives is for several implementations of the same file only. Or are you in fact suggesting to use update-alternatives for libmpi.so _and_ and the same time update all those libmpi_$Foo.so that only appear with Open MPI ? That, I guess, would still be correct use of alternatives via the slave. In fact there may or may not be exampel cases from the vi use or some other u-a use. Thanks for digging through this!
