Bug#270486: /usr/sbin/update-alternatives: Usability problem

[Andrew Ferrier <andrew@new-destiny.co.uk>]

Package: dpkg
Version: 1.10.23
Severity: minor
File: /usr/sbin/update-alternatives

When running update-alternatives --config, one of the entries in the list 
provided always seems to be marked with a '+'. However, it's not obvious what 
this means, and the update-alternatives manpage does not explain it.

Thanks,
Andrew.
