Subject: [PATCH] update debian installation instructions to recommend
installing `virtualenv` instead of `python3-virtualenv` (#6892)
* change debian package from python3-virtualenv to virtualenv
The virtualenv package is needed for the virtualenv command. The
virtualenv package depends on python3-virtualenv (at least since
debian jessie) so there is no need to specify python3-virtualenv
additionally.
