+    sudo apt-get install dh-python
     git clone git://github.com/ansible/ansible.git
     cd ansible
     make deb
 
+On older releases that do not have `dh-python` (like Ubuntu 12.04), install `python-support` instead:
+
+    sudo apt-get install python-support
+
 The debian package file will be placed in the `../` directory. This can then be added to an APT repository or installed with `dpkg -i <package-file>`.
 
 Note that `dpkg -i` does not resolve dependencies.
