Hm, hadn't appreciated that.
I'd assumed that this was the same as the update-alternatives used in
Debian, but looking in the relevant recipes directory I now appreciate
that this probably isn't the case. It looks like the "dpkg" version is
perl rather than shell and I assume it doesn't have the same problem
because perl isn't managed though the alternatives system. I suspect
there may be only one provider of perl...
