If you're confident that the path preferences are stable and will ensure
python-gtk2 is always found first when installed, this seems quite
reasonable to me, and not really hackish at all. The current behavior in
contrast really is quite hackish, since as we discussed on IRC, the desired
behavior here never fell into the intended use of alternatives.

I think we should entirely drop the alternatives, yes. How about the
following plan?
* Remove the alternative in pygtk in favor of shipping pygtk
in /usr/lib/python2.4, just like the rest of the package which
isn't python-{support,central}ized.
* Just ship pygtk.py with the other files in python-gtk2, provided
by python-support; introduce a conflict with the previous
python-gtk-1.2 package to avoid upgrade issues.
Because of the way sys.path works with .pth files, pygtk will always be
imported from python-gtk2 first, if both packages are installed. This is
a bit hackish, but it is only a temporary measure until we can remove
python-gtk-1.2.

That's the bulk of the problem; Josselin: I think the alternatives system doesn't offer any guarantee that any link will be touched, the symlink might not even exist. Do you think we should consider upgrading existing installs with a diversion based system instead of the alternatives? Or perhaps drop support for gtk1.2 via alternatives?
