I would tend to say so.

Has to be either XFCE or Debian.
ie: whichever takes care of the files/assignments in
/etc/alternatives

Now, XFCE have their own xfce4-terminal emulator.
version 1.1.5 released 2025/03/26

See: https://docs.xfce.org/apps/terminal/start

Why would *they* be mucking around with /etc/alternatives?

Searched for "xfce+zutty" and found this page where there is a
reference to what Peter Duffy reported:

https://wiki.webevaluation.nl/xfce-terminal
See Issues -> Xfce terminal does not start.

Seems that there is some confusion between 'Debian X Terminal
Emulator' and 'Xfce Terminal'.

Best,
