Lintian tag: maintainer-script-sets-alternative-improperly

Type: warning

Description (from lintian-explain-tags)

The maintainer script calls update-alternatives --set <alternative> foo or
update-alternatives --config <alternative> or update-alternatives
--set-selections.

This makes it impossible to distinguish between an alternative that's
manually set because the user set it and one that's manually set because
the package set it.

Please refer to the update-alternatives(8) manual page for details.
