Why does it not know?

The EXEC command in the Source should execute even a symlink.

I agree with this.

Of course..

However, since dist-upgrades over  two  versions  is  not  supported  by
Debian, you could include a small code into  "mc.postinst"  which  check
for old stuff laying around before it call "update-alternatives"...

So, even Sysadmins have not to care about it.

Thanks, Greetings and nice Day/Evening
