Improve the advanced Debian documentation

Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason requested to merge avar/docs-debian into master

What does this Merge Request do?

An improvement to the Debian advanced installation docs. Mainly by adding a new make target so we install the advanced packages from packages_debian.txt, and thus make it obvious which of the packages in the docs are unique to this mode of install, and which are common, and thus reduce maintenance burden & duplication.

@eread @ashmckenzie: Seems you're mostly the authors of what I'm editing.

Also as a side-note (ping @jacobvosmaer-gitlab) any idea whether that ed special-case for chroot added in !44 (merged) is still needed?
