Euan Cochrane on twitter made the good point that our installation instructions for Linux are a tad less descriptive than our installation instructions for other OSs.

He also made the point that:

Your table implies "libssl-dev and libffi-dev" are not needed for basic reprozip but are included in the command for installing dependencies

So we might need to take a second look at our table on installation requirements and update, or provide more detail for users underneath it.
