Yes, I used this feature myself some time ago and don't want to be the
one breaking it. ;-)

Does this happen with the branch I pushed yesterday? Since commit
472899be2a97bf6c5741f6b414433e13cfea1c7b it shouldn't happen unless you
either explicitly enable update-alternatives in dpkg's PACKAGECONFIG, or
set PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/update-alternatives-native to dpkg-native.
