<item>methods - this directory is reserved for "method"-specific files - each
"method" has a subdirectory underneath this directory (or at least, it can
have). In addition, there is another subdirectory "mnt", where misc.
-filesystems (floppies, CDROMs, etc.) are mounted.
+filesystems (floppies, CD-ROMs, etc.) are mounted.
<item>alternatives - directory used by the "update-alternatives" program. It
contains one file for each "alternatives" interface, which contains information
about all the needed symlinked files for each alternative.
