I'm somewhat open to shipping util-linux's cal, but not if that
involves update-alternatives.

Could you maybe work with upstream, so that util-linux's cal becomes
a drop-in replacement, and can work as both cal and ncal?

Also, quite obviously is this something we want to do as Debian?
Michael, as the maintainer of the current ncal package, what is your
opinion here?
