I would support this whishlist bug since update-alternatives.pl support
already an infrastructure and yes, ~/bin should be used. I have written
for some time an tool which is based on "update-alternatives"
Not sure for now (no fsck Web-Access currently), but AFAIK I have it as
Debian Package on my website and use (X)dialog which can easyly used
under the X-Window-System.
I have writen it, because there are "noobs" which are USER-ONLY and have
no clue about system configuration. So my Xdialog Tool has helped many
peoples already, even it is very simple coded.
Thanks, Greetings and nice Day/Evening
