+- Make sure pre-existing (arch-independent) update-alternatives
+  are wiped before registering new ones.
+  Since update-alternatives has no reliable way to check if
+  a certain 'generic name' exists, brute-force it and ignore
+  any error (boo#1208248).
+- Remove totally pointless - ie. never executed - %%posttrans
+  script.
+- Restore generic link for update-alternatives. This is usually
+  set by the update-alternatives and it is '%ghost'ed but rpmlint
+  complains.
+- Add rpmlintrc rules to avoid false positives from consistently
+  guessing the update-alternatives generic name wrong.
+- Make arch dependent generic names conditional.
