It does:
malcolm@arthur:~$ sudo update-alternatives --config x-terminal-emulator
There are 2 programs which provide `x-terminal-emulator'.
Selection Command
-----------------------------------------------
+ 1 /usr/bin/gnome-terminal.wrapper
* 2 /usr/X11R6/bin/xterm
Enter to keep the default[*], or type selection number: 2
Using `/usr/X11R6/bin/xterm' to provide `x-terminal-emulator'.

Lots of menu entries launch x-terminal-emulator to run the program in.
A user should be able to choose which xterm is run.
