I don't know why I, as bug submitter, should be expected to figure out
how you should handle alternatives. My packages don't do much with them.
Overwriting a manually selected alternative is IMHO a serious bug. If
you can't figure out whether the alternative was manually or
automaticly selected, don't overwrite it.
