Either or both are OK to me, choose whatever you think is simpler to
implement or makes more sense.
The helper text prepended to the migrated my.cnf could also be
improved a bit. It does not tell the user _why_ the
update-alternatives is used and what the alternatives are.
Unfortunately I can't come up with a smart and short text to put there
from the top of my head.
@maier-m: Do you feel you could contribute to improve the documentation part?
