Add mention of required packages for Debian

[conorsch]

When installing the deb package, a few apt dependencies must be satsified, otherwise the dpkg -i command will fail. These seem to be:

• libappindicator1
• libdbusmenu-glib4
• libdbusmenu-gtk4
• libindicator7

Tested under Debian Stretch. Should also test on Ubuntu Xenial and document any differences.

@conorsch @GabeIsman What's the latest on this? Seems like a blocker for release.

I just tested installing the .deb on Tails 3.3, which was the most recent version of Tails as of yesterday. The missing dependencies were gconf2, gconf-service, and libappindicator1.

After some experimentation, I found these steps to successfully install Sunder, and its dependencies, on Tails:

sudo dpkg -i /path/to/sunder.deb
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -yf

Note that apt-get update is a necessary prerequisite for apt-get install -f to act in the desired manner, which is to install the missing dependencies for Sunder. I found that calling apt-get install -f without updating first led to apt-get deciding that the best solution was to remove sunder rather than to install its missing dependencies.

Additional note: since these steps need to be online to install the missing dependencies, they require a slight reworking of the process for creating an airgapped Tails system for use with Sunder, which I will add to the documentation. I don't know of any other (reasonable) way to install Sunder's dependencies on Tails without having it online initially.

I tried to install a build from yesterday on a Tails 3.5 using the following command.

$ sudo apt install sunder_0.1.0_amd64.deb

That showed me the follow error.

 sunder : Depends: gconf2 but it is not installable
          Depends: gconf-service but it is not installable
          Depends: libappindicator1 but it is not installable

Next, I did $ sudo apt-get update and then tried to install again. The following packages got installed.

gconf-service gconf2 gconf2-common libappindicator1 libdbusmenu-glib4
  libdbusmenu-gtk4 libgconf-2-4 libindicator7 sunder

Also from the log:

#91 got us pretty far along here, but via recommending --fix-broken on the apt-get command. We should install explicitly list dependencies that should be installed, so that the apt-get operations complete cleanly, and the system is never in a broken state if the documentation is followed.
