How could we decide which package is the preferred one for a given
alternative?  Should there be multiple levels of preference?  (I.e.,
assign them a number and, the lower it is, the more preference it
has?)  Or just have a single default?  (E.g., nvi for vi, uwpico for
pico, etc.)

We might even modify pkg_alternatives' default configuration file to
ignore some wrappers (i.e., 'vi'), as many people were against that
one specifically.  ATM, the default configuration is to accept them
all.

Cheers,
