Quiet the update-alternatives man page warnings in the image build (closes #222)

nix-bin depends on xz-utils, whose install links man pages with
update-alternatives. The image's dpkg config drops man pages, so each link
warns. A config file, read after that one, re-includes the man1 pages for
this install alone; the cleanup then deletes them again, so no man page or
package is added.
