I think that's due to Debian's multiarch arrangement.  And we already
have  the same issue for Wheezy.

FWIW I don't think README or INSTALL should be tied to a specific
distro. But the line is blurred because we already used a bunch of
package names from Debian and Redhat.

I don't think this is a big issue. It should probably go to a wiki page.

If you're keen, you can submit a patch to README and request it be
backported.
