That did the trick.

Here's an example of a valid command:
update-alternatives --quiet --install /usr/bin/awk awk /usr/bin/gawk 10 \
--slave /usr/share/man/man1/awk.1.gz awk.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/gawk.1.gz \
--slave /usr/bin/nawk nawk /usr/bin/gawk \
--slave /usr/share/man/man1/nawk.1.gz nawk.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/gawk.1.gz
For each --slave, you repeat the <path> <name> <path>.

No, it's not. I've changed it to `name' for now, though `alternative name'
would be correct as well, I suppose.

No, I actually typed _update_alternatives in .distfiles, but of course
that didn't work out well seeing as how the file is named something
else.

I guess you haven't seen /usr/sbin/upgrade-windowmaker-defaults
