Long standing issue - would be great to have it fixed for Release but we'll survive if it happens a week later ;-)
The dependencies page explicitly says on the top:
The page lists the prerequisite packages that need to be installed on the different platforms to be able to configure, build and run ROOT.
So it describes what is needed to configure and build ROOT. Therefore, mentioning cmake
makes sense. Unless we want to clearly have the two sections:
In that case this page should be reformatted.
https://root.cern/install/#download-a-pre-compiled-binary-distribution says "Install all required dependencies with the system package manager", and that list is not what we need.
I propose we delay this and eventually point to the Dockerfile package lists that @olemorud is preparing.

with some ideas on how to keep dependencies separately for each ROOT version, with links to the CI e.g.
https://root-project.github.io/web/install/#download-a-pre-compiled-binary-distribution
mentions https://root-project.github.io/web/install/dependencies/#ubuntu-10-12--14-and-16
but that shows e.g. cmake: for /usr/bin/cmake which is not needed for running the Ubuntu binary.
