Summary:                    Major selection used by all packages does not work
Description: 
The major selection option used by all of my packages like
  /opt/csw/sbin/alternatives --config mutt
does not work in this implementation. It should display a menu and allow
easy selection.

What's the deal here... I put out a potential-fix package, but you give me
no feedback as to whether it works for you?

I dont understand whether your last comment is related to the bug, or the
new package, or general config of "alternatives", or...

My updated package has been sitting in experimental for a month.
Would you give me specific feedback on whether it fixes the problem in
this bug report, please?
