I really dislike "For avoidance of doubt and clarity" - and in terms of being equivalent the following seems like a more accurate description of reality.

The PostgreSQL documentation, and code, refers to the specifications within the ACL as "privileges".  This has the same meaning as "permissions" on the linked page.  Generally if we say "permissions" we are referring to something that is not covered by the ACL.  In routine communication the two words are often used interchangeably.
