It's not; what it *is* different from is the more common case
construction, which instead looks like:
case "$1" in
(remove)
update-alternatives --remove <foo> <path-to-foo>
;;
(upgrade|failed-upgrade|deconfigure)
;;
(*)
echo "Unknown call $@" >&2
exit 1
;;
esac
If the case doesn't have that default case, it doesn't have this problem,
but when you see the case statement, you usually see that form.
