Properly cleanup alternatives on removal. (#767822)
The patch is taken from packaging SVN (and therefore targets
UNRELEASED). I just verified that it works as intended.
If the patch is approved, I'll ping the maintainer to actually
upload the pending fix (or NMU it myself after a few days).
unblock xfce4-session/4.10.1-10

PS: this is the second (after flextra) and last package in
jessie that does not clean up alternatives on removal, there might be
one or two more that do not properly clean up obsolete alternatives
after upgrades from wheezy.
