This is a tracker bug for making all packages using update-alternatives
own their symlinks at `/etc/alternatives/*`.

Problem:
Currently there is a mix of owned and not owned files by packages
in `/etc/alternatives/*` (just look at `rpm -qf /etc/alternatives/*`).

Currently there seems to be a sizeable chunk of packages not declaring
`%ghost %_sysconfdir/alternatives/<binary>`, as specified at [1].

Also, see discussion on opensuse-factory m-l [2].

Once the mass bug filling for the issue is done, I will wait until
1 October for maintainers to action on the bugs, and afterwards
I will start fixing each package by hand.


Cheers,
