Well, if I understand everyting correct then yes, it's not possible.
However, I've
mostly been a user of Yocto so please check my reasoning:

- first, I made a comment here
https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8879#c4

- if you take a look at 
http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/opkg-utils/tree/update-alternatives
you'll simply see it's a shellscript; if we wanted to have it without
bash we'd need a C++
implementation, am I right?
