Let me clarify this -- /usr/bin/emacs must be either a symlink or a
wrapper script unless the emacs and emacs-nox packages conflict.
Given that, it seems to me like /etc/alternatives is the preferred
solution -- at least it's a standard way to set up a symlink. It is
definitely the right thing to do on Debian systems.
I don't think it's preferred at all, and particularly not in this case. This
isn't a matter of chosing between two equivalent options -- it's just trying
to address the linked-with-GNOME thing. So it seems like the right thing to
do is use a simple script that runs the big version if it's installed, and
falls back to the svelte one otherwise.
True, that's exactly what alternatives would accomplish too, just in a
more complicated way.
