I admit I also stumbled about this $HOME/.fis-gtm issue but was to tired
yesterday and forgot to bring this up in my response.

The alternatives system has the purpose to handle different alternative
packages. However, in the GT.M case there are no such alternatives
currently available in Debian and I do not see a real "danger" that this
wil come soonish. So for the moment I do not see any need for making
things more complex for no current use.
