ametzler at argenau:~/SVN/iceape/debian$ grep update-alter iceape-browser.p*
iceape-browser.postinst:        update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/x-www-browser \
iceape-browser.postinst:        update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/mozilla \

The counterpart to this commands is missing, iirc it should go to
prerm, since update-alternatives won't remove the link if the program
it is pointig to is already gone.
