OK, thanks for checking.

I guess I have to withdraw my objections to the one-line thing, 'though it makes it a PITA to work out what the problems are. Could we at least use \ to separate the packages onto separate lines to make it easie to see them all at a glance?

This should be good as is. I think a better way would be to check if the year of the Ubuntu release is greater than 24. That would keep it working on the non-LTS releases too.
