This priorities thing is what debian does at least... Except that I was wrong on this particular case: Debians vim and nvim have the same priorities so it doesn't switch automatically. But on another case like installing openjdk-17-jre after openjdk-11-jre it holds true that debian automatically switches the alternatives because openjdk-17-jre has a greater priority.
