Bug Description

Hi,

running:

sudo update-alternatives --config x-terminal-emulator

after installing quake doesn't show quake as an alternative x-terminal-emulator.

Please consider adding guake as an alternative.

This is not a good solution to make guake default x-terminal-emulator.
Please do not do that.
I'll choose it default if I want.

To be more clear:
I installed Ubuntu 15.04 final, than I was going to install Guake terminal to it.

apt-get install guake
...
Preparing to unpack .../guake_0.5.0-2_i386.deb ...
Unpacking guake (0.5.0-2) ...
...

update-alternatives: using /usr/bin/guake to provide /usr/bin/x-terminal-emulator (x-terminal-emulator) in auto mode
# ^ this is not expected behaviour.

Usually I install Guake and use it as auxiliary terminal on demand.
In previous versions of Ubuntu after Guake installation my main terminal remains gnome-terminal.
But in 15.04 this changed, so I need to choose gnome-terminal manually.

Hi,

this request is not to set it as the default terminal. This is about to be able to set it in the first place.

There is only one alternative in link group x-terminal-emulator (providing /usr/bin/x-terminal-emulator): /usr/bin/gnome-terminal.wrapper
Nothing to configure.

I'd like to be able to add Guake as an alternative as well.
