I have been playing around with newer, multithreaded implementations of bzip2 and gzip and is my impression that we need to provide "update-alternatives" to them, so users are able to select their favorite tool.
Is "update-alternatives" really neccessary? Wouldn't different packages be sufficient?
I believe it is, as there are tons of scripts/tools that refer bzip2 or gzip with full paths. :-|
My question was more like: do you really need to have both the fast and the slow bzip2 installed in your system? You could also have a "fastbzip2" package that also contains /usr/bin/bzip2 and conflicts with bzip2.
