There is only one package which comes suspiciously close to the
timestamp above: xfce4-terminal. Just for the record, the lines in
question are the following:
> /var/log/dpkg.log:2009-05-17 00:26:43 upgrade xfce4-terminal 0.2.12-1 0.2.12-2

As you can see in the last lines, this is more than close but plainly equal.
> I don't know who/what called update-alternatives with
> x-terminal-emulator.1.gz as master alternative but it's definitely not
> a side-effect of proper usage of update-alternatives.
Here’s the content of xfce4-terminal.postinst:
> #!/bin/sh -e
>
> # install alternatives links
>
> if [ "$1" = "configure" ]; then
> update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/x-terminal-emulator \
> x-terminal-emulator /usr/bin/xfce4-terminal.wrapper 40 \
> --slave /usr/share/man/man1/x-terminal-emulator.1.gz \
> x-terminal-emulator.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/xfce4-terminal.wrapper.1.gz
> fi
>
> # Automatically added by dh_installmenu
> if [ "$1" = "configure" ] && [ -x "`which update-menus 2>/dev/null`" ]; then
> update-menus
> fi
> # End automatically added section

> exit 0
Proper usage?
