…ocation after-install.tpl (which becomes the postinst in a Debian package) writes `if type update-alternatives 2>/dev/null >&1`. This fails to suppress the output, so the built packages always print the `type` output "update-alternatives is /usr/bin/update-alternatives" from their postinst. Fix the stdio redirects to use `>/dev/null 2>&1` like other usages in the file.
