update-alternatives then corrects)

Thank you, that is what I hoped.

I think these links cause problems in certain conditions (#230229).
Perhaps if several packages are unpacked together? Despite what it
says at the end of #230229, they were not cleaned up completely at
that time. So I thought: finish the job. It may also prevent future
problems.
For me personally, the problem is only cosmetic. I was searching
semi-automatically for links/alternatives/... that are "extra files"
in the sense of package cruft and that may need changing in some way.
