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

xz-utils' install calls update-alternatives to link its man pages, but the
image's dpkg config drops man pages the moment they unpack, so it prints
one warning for each link it cannot make. A config file read after that one
re-includes man pages for this install alone, so the links are made
quietly; the man pages and that file are then removed, so the image still
holds none, and installs built from it still drop them.
