Uh, no. It doesn't use alternatives because we don't think that a graphical
gdb is an alternative for gdb ;) Seriously, there's already gdb5.0 in a
separate package and we think that one of them is not really a replacement
for the other because there might be other programs which would assume
the pure gdb.

Yes, alternatives are nice. In fact I'd like to make it an alternative
for, let's say graphical-debugger. Something like that.
