Bug Description

gedit ships an entry for Debian's alternatives system for /usr/bin/gnome-text-editor and a corresponding manpage.

However, there is now a real app named gnome-text-editor that ships /usr/bin/gnome-text-editor

Therefore we should remove the entry in Debian's alternative system.

A few more details on the Debian bug.
