I have packages already in the repository I mentioned, it contains:
case "$1" in 
  upgrade)
    ;;
  *)
    update-alternatives --remove xdvi.bin /usr/bin/xdvi-xaw
    update-alternatives --remove bibtex /usr/bin/bibtex.original
    ;;
esac

I am not sure if that is better?

Do you think that is the better way? Anyone else here having an opinion?

Best wishes

GLENTAGGART (n.)
A particular kind of tartan hold-all, made exclusive under licence for
British Airways. When waiting to collect your luggage from an airport
conveyor belt, you will notice that on the next conveyor belt a
solitary bag is going round and round uncollected. This is a
glentaggart, which has been placed there by the baggage-handling staff
to take your mind off the fact that your own luggage will shortly be
landing in Murmansk.
