For some reason, alternatives won't work for urxvt for me.

path to alternate expected in /var/lib/alternatives/urxvt
I tried moving /var/lib/alternatives/urxvt away and rerunning the
update-alternatives command from
/etc/postinstall/rxvt-unicode-X.sh.done, but it produced an identical file.
This is a bug in the postinstall script. It used to work, so I'm not
sure what changed -- but the postinstall SHOULD read:
${sbindir}/update-alternatives \
--install ${bindir}/urxvt urxvt ${bindir}/urxvt-X.exe 30 \
--slave ${bindir}/urxvtc urxvtc ${bindir}/urxvtc-X.exe \
--slave ${bindir}/urxvtd urxvtd ${bindir}/urxvtd-X.exe
Note that the actual targets need .exe.
I'll fix this in the next release. Thanks for the report.
