Bug Description

Binary package hint: dpkg

I made a package that makes an alternative for sources.list. The thing is it creates the alternative(/etc/alternatives) that links to the new file but it doesnt link the old file to the alternative. This sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. It also refused to create it correctly from a package.
