I routinely don't update the docs because the build (hawkmoth in
particular) is a pain.  The prior instructions almost worked, except that
on Debian you need to use a venv (which is a good idea to do for py3-clang
as well for reproducibility, anyway), and the versions that were listed
didn't actually run any more due to a revoked dependency.
