Recently I discovered that the "ip-tiny" "ip" symlink had been overwritten by the busybox symlink and of course things broke due to the restricted features of the busybox ip.

Is this supposed to happen even with ALTERNATIVES?  I assumed the whole point of ALTERNATIVES was to ensure that the highest priority alternative was always the current symlink.
