I suggest to start the README with sth. like:


Configuring Trac on Debian
==========================

trac is a web-based project management tool. It can be run as a
standalone daemon (tracd) or together with a web server, such as
Apache. The web server needs to support either WSGI (Apache with
libapache2-mod-wsgi), FCGI (Apache, lighttpd), or CGI (most web
servers). Trac is written in the Python programming language and uses
Genshi (python-genshi) as templating system and, optionally, Pygments
(python-pygments) for source code syntax highlighting. trac uses
SQLite (libsqlite*) as an embedded database, but can be configured to
use PostgreSQL or MySQL instead.

Creating a Project Environment
------------------------------
...


(Installation Guide is misleading IMHO. The installation itself
is already done by apt-get, more or less. So the README.Debian
is more about configuring the things, that apt-get cannot know.)

trac allows a lot of options (different web servers, database
engines, version control systems), so that we can only document
the most common situations.
