Bug#328310: gedit-common: problems with alternatives

[Lars Wirzenius]

Package: gedit-common
Version: 2.10.3-4

The postinst sets up a gnome-text-editor alternative, pointing it
to /usr/bin/gedit. Unfortunately, that file is not part of the
gedit-common package, so if the package is installed without gedit,
removal of the alternative fails, leaving cruft on the system. I guess
it would be better to move the alternatives handling into the gedit
package?

(I realize that this is a fairly unlikely scenario, but that's what
piuparts testing results in.)
