We aren't really talking abotu pure debian environments here. But even
if we did:
No, alternatives are used to handle different programs for a given
purpose, but usually not for different locations of interpreters AFAIK.
Different locations of a specific program (which is more like the
problem we were talking about) are a different thing.
After all, alternatives always work like /usr/bin/someprog ->
/etc/alternatives/someprog -> /usr/bin/someprog-X11 (with x -> y
depicting a link named x pointing to y).
