Yes, the PAGE setting in hobbit-alerts.cfg uses the default pagename from
bb-hosts - it doesn't know about the alternate pagesets.

So far, the alternate pagesets have been purely a "display" thing -
they only exist in the "mind" of bbgen when creating webpages. The
hobbit daemon doesn't know about them.

So it's not as easy as it seems to implement this. I'll try to come up
with a way of doing it, but it definitely will not be in the upcoming
release.
