From IRC discussion with timeless:

[11:06] <timelyx> do you realize how hard it was for me to find the page he 
meant?
[11:06] <timelyx> i tried a google search of bugzilla.org for dep debian
[11:07] <timelyx> and a few other searches
[11:08] <timelyx> please fix that  page to have a hint table somewhere
[11:08] <travis> which page?
[11:08] <timelyx> installation.html
[11:08] <timelyx> rpm could be real player media
[11:08] <travis> okay, tell me what they should be, and I'll just add them in 
right now
[11:08] <timelyx> make sure the magic keywords "redhat package", "debian 
package", ...
[11:09] <timelyx> microsoft installer
[11:09] <timelyx> windows self extracting installer (?)

Seems like a reasonable request to me. I was going to get to this, but I just 
haven't had time today. Would you be willing to incorporate these changes in 
your patch?
