       dh_installalternatives [debhelperoptions]

DESCRIPTION
       dh_installalternatives is a debhelper program that is responsible for

           An example of the format:

               Name: editor
               Link: /usr/bin/editor
               Alternative: /usr/bin/vim.basic
               Dependents:
                 /usr/share/man/man1/editor.1.gz editor.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/vim.1.gz
                 /usr/share/man/fr/man1/editor.1.gz editor.fr.1.gz /usr/share/man/fr/man1/vim.1.gz
                 /usr/share/man/it/man1/editor.1.gz editor.it.1.gz /usr/share/man/it/man1/vim.1.gz
                 /usr/share/man/pl/man1/editor.1.gz editor.pl.1.gz /usr/share/man/pl/man1/vim.1.gz
                 /usr/share/man/ru/man1/editor.1.gz editor.ru.1.gz /usr/share/man/ru/man1/vim.1.gz
               Priority: 50

           The fields Link, Name, Alternative, and Priority are mandatory and
           correspond to the update-alternatives(1) --install parameters link,
           name, path, and priority respectively.

           The Dependents field is optional and consists of one or more lines.
           Each non-empty line must contain exactly 3 space separated values
           that match (in order) the values passed to the --slave parameter
           for update-alternatives(1).
