Bug#267095: Use terminology from TERMINOLOGY section



These reports (#267095 and #284941) complain about inconsistent use of
terminology in the update-alternatives man page.  I was confused by this
too.  The man page should follow its own TERMINOLOGY section more
closely.

  TERMINOLOGY
  generic name
  symlink
  alternative
> priority
>        ... 


< update-alternatives [options] --install link  name   path   priority  [--slave link name path]...
> update-alternatives [options] --install genname symlink altern priority [--slave genname1 symlink1 altern1]...

  ACTIONS
<       --install gen link alt pri [--slave sgen slink salt] ...
>       --install genname symlink altern priority [--slave sgen slink salt] ...
