It seems to be a reasonable thing: a terminal should declare itself as an alternative for /usr/bin/xvt. I create this report to keep the list of specific requests for this feature in each individual package with a terminal (see "depends on"). Expected Results: Any terminal should appear in the list of alternatives: # alternatives-display /usr/bin/xvt xvt - status is auto link currently points to /usr/bin/aterm /usr/bin/konsole - priority 15 /usr/bin/Eterm - priority 30 /usr/bin/xterm - priority 40 /usr/bin/aterm - priority 50 Current ``best" version is /usr/bin/aterm. #
