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] ...
