There are many pages that are just version-specific deltas off of an old
Debian install HowTo, including all the Ubuntu version-specific pages. I
am not entirely surprised that this propagated.
Unfortunately, the habit of making version-specific HowTos and not
distro-specific HowTos with version-specific sections started very early in
the wiki history, and stuck. I did a bunch of that, too. From one release
of a distro to the next, the only thing that usually changes is the name of
packages to add.
Fixing that proliferation of unnecessary duplication would be like work.
