Z:englobe-dpkg-man--6803af-Debian's alternatives system a/en

Debian's alternatives system aims to solve this problem. A generic name in the filesystem is shared by all files providing interchangeable functionality. The alternatives system and the system administrator together determine which actual file is referenced by this generic name. For example, if the text editors B(1) and B (1)  are both installed on the system, the alternatives system will cause the generic name I to refer to I by default. The system administrator can override this and cause it to refer to I instead, and the alternatives system will not alter this setting until explicitly requested to do so.
