I do not know about SUSE but Debian does a similar thing. Emacs
variants compiled with or without GTK+ or X11 are distributed as
separate packages, with the Emacs binary named /usr/bin/emacs-gtk,
/usr/bin/emacs-nox, etc. Then, the mechanism called “alternatives”
sets up /usr/bin/emacs as a symlink to /etc/alternatives/emacs, which
in turn is a symlink to /usr/bin/emacs-whatever.
The Debian alternatives system makes it possible to declare a group of
related links, e.g. so that emacs.pdmp is a symlink to a symlink to
emacs-gtk.pdmp if and only if emacs is a symlink to a symlink to
emacs-gtk.
It seems the SUSE alternatives system is very similar; maybe SUSE
packagers should add the .pdmp to the alternatives group for Emacs?
