[Debian-on-mobile-maintainers] Bug#1023510: Use update-alternatives for /usr/share/applications/sm.puri.OSK0

[Guido Günther]

Package: squeekboard
Version: 1.20.0
Severity: wishlist

It can be useful to have both squeekboard and phosh-osk-stub
installed on a system and to switch between them as both implement
the required interfaces.

The upstream phosh-osk-stub packages solves that by using a diversion
but that is not ideal as one can't switch easily.

As I'd like to upload phosh-osk-stub to experimental it would be great
to make squeekboard use `update-alternatives` for

   /usr/share/applications/sm.puri.OSK0

so both packages get co-installable and the OSK implementation could
be switched easily.

Filing this bug to see if there are objections, otherwise I'd send a
patch for squeekboard.

Cheers,
 -- Guido
