Fix installation instructions for Debian/Ubuntu
There is no package called "qemu" here - thus use the two meta-packages "qemu-system" and "qemu-user-static" instead. While we're at it, add a note for people who might not need all emulator binaries - in that case it makes sense to have a look at the list of available packages first.
