Default More alternatives fun and games

I just removed the 32-bit emacs package from a 64-bit machine and
/usr/bin/emacs went away, presumably because of:


preuninstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh):
alternatives --remove emacs /usr/bin/emacs-22.1

Is there any standard way we can avoid this? Count the number of emacs
packages there will be after removal?

Hm. Must be a packaging bug, because I have reviewed a (livna) package
that uses alternatives and uninstalling the 32bit version didn't make
the alternativized link go away.
