Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] Documenting Ubuntu requirements

I've been working on building an Ubuntu development environment. I'm starting with a clean build of 17.10, because I managed to corrupt my 17.04 installation somehow.

The WSDG says that most Unix variants should have the software necessary for development, but I'm finding that a Ubuntu Desktop installation needs the installation of 20 or so packages. I'm working on developing a minimal set. (Because some packages pull in others, the order in which they're installed matters.)

How should I document this list?

- Create a README.ubuntu file in the top-level directory?
- Create a README.ubuntu file in the doc subdirectory?
- Editing the WSUG?
