Package: gcc-3.0
Version: 1:3.0-1
Severity: minor
The gcc series of packages (gcc-2.95, gcc-3.0, g++-*, etc.) should use the Debian
alternatives properly.
Right now this is the situation:
wturkal@braindead:/usr/bin$ ls -l gcc*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 May 28 15:56 gcc -> gcc-2.95
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 70332 Jun 4 12:43 gcc-2.95
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 75004 Jun 18 17:01 gcc-3.0
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 15660 Jun 18 13:26 gccbug-3.0
wturkal@braindead:/usr/bin$ cd /etc/alternatives/
wturkal@braindead:/etc/alternatives$ ls -l cc*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 May 28 16:07 cc -> /usr/bin/gcc
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 May 28 16:07 cc.1.gz -> /usr/share/man/man1/gcc.1.gz
wturkal@braindead:/etc/alternatives$
It should look like this I believe:
wturkal@braindead:/usr/bin$ ls -l gcc*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 May 28 15:56 gcc -> /etc/alternatives/cc
^^^^^^^
now points to alternatives in etc
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 70332 Jun 4 12:43 gcc-2.95
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 75004 Jun 18 17:01 gcc-3.0
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 15660 Jun 18 13:26 gccbug-3.0
wturkal@braindead:/usr/bin$ cd /etc/alternatives/
wturkal@braindead:/etc/alternatives$ ls -l cc*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 May 28 16:07 cc -> /usr/bin/gcc-2.95
^^^^^^^
properly selecting an actual compiler
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 May 28 16:07 cc.1.gz -> /usr/share/man/man1/gcc.1.gz
wturkal@braindead:/etc/alternatives$
The same stuff is going on in the other gcc packages.
Would the maintainer please tell me how to easily file this bug report to the other gcc related
packages if and when he replies?

No, it should not. Read /usr/share/doc/gcc/README.Debian:
gcc-defaults for Debian
-----------------------
Provide the architecture specific defaults for the compilers of the
GNU compiler collection (gcc).
The default compiler versions for Debian GNU/Linux on i386 are
(minor version numbers omitted):
cpp - cpp-2.95.4 (package cpp-2.95)
gcc - gcc-2.95.4 (package cpp-2.95)
g++ - g++-2.95.4 (package cpp-2.95)
gobjc - gcc-2.95.4 (package cpp-2.95)
g77 - g77-2.95.4 (package cpp-2.95)
gcj - gcj-3.0 (package cpp-3.0)
gpc - gpc-2.95.4 (package cpp-2.95)
chill - chill-2.95.4 (package cpp-2.95)
Documentation for the default compiles can be found in
/usr/share/doc/<compiler>-<package version>.

This is not supposed to be user selectable on a systemwide basis. The
compilers are too different.
