This implicitly covers Ubuntu, since packages are sync'ed with Debian.

In addition to that Ubuntu also provides versioned packages (such as
rustc-1.74, bindgen-0.65, etc.), so in case of special requirements
(e.g., older kernels) users should be able to install the required
version(s) using the packages provided by the distro.

Maybe it's worth mentioning as a little note, so that users are aware of
these extra packages.

Thanks,
