No.
In the NVIDIA packages we use triggers to add/remove alternatives to
diverted files. I've seen the triggers being run multiple times during
an installation, but a single run at the end should be sufficient and
avoid changing the alternatives multiple times during the installation.

"activate" is not being used.
