The current /etc/profile does not permit the use of symlinks in
/etc/profile.d/ - it ignores them.
Unfortunately, even if this was fixed in the package, existing installs
wouldn't get fixed, because /etc/profile is handled via /etc/defaults :-(
/me gives up on finding a way for /sbin/alternatives to influence $MANPATH.
