[Pkg-rust-maintainers] Bug#1025859: alacritty: provide x-terminal-emulator alternative

[Marcel Fourné]

Package: alacritty
Version: 0.11.0-2
Severity: wishlist

Currently, alacritty cannot be configured via
update-alternatives --config x-terminal-emulator
and the packaging does not provide an alternative for that name via
Provides: x-terminal-emulator

It would be nice to have this level of integration without additional steps for a user to newly install this package.

If you like, I can make a patch for this.

Thank you for packaging alacritty!
