Comment (by meejah):

 If python3 is the default python on Ubuntu 20.04, I'm surprised that "apt
 install python" gives you python2 and not python3?

 I don't think we want completely separate instructions for this OS -- at
 most, we'd want just the special instructions needed to get to the same
 point as the "main" Debian instructions. That is: working virtualenv +
 python2.

 So I think the only thing that's different is "how to get python2" and the
 name of the virtualenv package. Right?

 In any case, it's still best to express this as a PR on github so that one
 may examine the proposed changes. Thanks.
