an off-topic question: why x-office-word, x-office-excel, etc? are these trying to express "the replacement for microsoft windows word, excel" ? or is this what text documents or spreadsheet documents being called?

I don't think this concerns debian-policy at all. The use of alternatives is something that needs to be coordinated amont the maintainers of packages. It's not a question of policy or of dpkg. So, in order to have an alternative link for x-word-processor or x-spreadsheet, you need to file wishlist bugs against the packages that would be involved, and then have the maintainers agree with each other what to do. But, before doing so, it would be a good idea to discuss about this on debian-devel. I suggest you post the original proposal to debian-devel, explaining the full rationale on why you want this, what would need to be changed, what would be the benefits for the users and what would be the maintainers' resposibilities. -- Besos, Marga -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
