Some system tools (like dpkg) expects a binary called pager when they
run on a interactive console.
This patch addes this symlink via alternative, so other packages can
also provide this symlink.

dpkg may, but that's because dpkg is the Debian package manager and it
follows Debian traditions. /usr/bin/pager is a Debianism: I suggest
we just patch it to use 'less'.

Hi Ross
I am ok with that.
But looking forward it is definitely more difficult to maintain that
patch on future dpkg versions. Will prepare the patch and then you
decide :P
Thanks!
