Subject: Bug#3466: tcsh, csh should use update-alternatives, not diversions

Package: tcsh, csh
Version: 6.05-4, 5.26-2

Currently csh uses dpkg-divert to get tcsh out of its way
(incidentally renaming the csh.1 manpage to csh.1.distrib - surely
tcsh.1 or some such would be better).

Instead both should be changed to use update-alternatives.

(This bug was encountered during a test installation of 1.1 done by
the three of us.)

The solution to this would be to make csh standard: If /bin/csh is installed,
then it should be the original.  Any scripts with tcsh-extensions should
not reference /bin/csh anyway.
