No, because --list shows the selection what WOULD be taken in auto mode,
but NOT the actual setting!!!! I tried it, it did't work.

Current code:
case "$1" in 
  configure|reconfigure)
    update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/xdvi.bin xdvi.bin /usr/bin/xdvi-xaw.bin 30
    # if we are still pointing to the teTeX alternative, remove this one
    # and switch to auto mode.
    if update-alternatives --display xdvi.bin | grep -q 'link currently points to /usr/bin/xdvi.real' ; then
      update-alternatives --remove xdvi.bin /usr/bin/xdvi.real
      update-alternatives --auto xdvi.bin
    fi
    ;;
esac

This is the third rebuild of texlive-bin.

Best wishes
