[Bug 1420237] [NEW] update-alternatives warnings while upgrading

[dino99]

Public bug reported:

system booted with systemd-sysv and using 'english' as default language.

while upgrading aptitude on that vivid i386 system, i've got these
warnings inside the synaptic's dialog box:

Setting up aptitude-common (0.6.11-1ubuntu3) ...

Looks like simple info, but maybe should be silenced by default as those
languages are not installed (user choice)
