Bug#369789: gnome-control-center: update preferred application via update-alternatives

[Anand Kumria]

Package: gnome-control-center
Version: 1:2.12.3-2
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

It'd be really nice if, as well as doing the standard GNOMEy things, the
preferred application applet also ran update-alternatives to specify the
preferred application "the Debian way".

Thanks,
Anand
