Note that we already generate this "apt-get install" line for the 
documentation (see 
https://doc.sagemath.org/html/en/installation/source.html#linux-recommended-installation).
Unfortunately the writing in this section of the manual is not very good 
and would need help to be improved. 
This could be done as part of https://trac.sagemath.org/ticket/33662 -- 
help needed!
