Bug#219010: On the cooperation between sleuthkit and tct

I can't reproduce the debsum missmatch:
# dpkg --list tct sleuthkit
[...]
ii sleuthkit 3.0.1-5 collection of tools for forensics analysis on volume and file system data
ii tct 1.18-4+b1 collection of forensics related utilities
# debsums -a tct | grep -v 'OK$'
# debsums -a sleuthkit | grep -v 'OK$'
#
Though I support your suggestion regarding the use of the
update-alternatives mechanism within tct.
Christophe: there's a patch by Martin Godisch available within
#219010 which provides the according update-alternatives mechanism.
Any objections against including it?
regards,
