This is a bug on that page. The debian instructions are implemented
using a javascript thing that "fills in the blanks" for you, with a
<noscript> fallback showing the generic instructions.

However, the content-security-policy HTTP header says that inline
javascript is prohibited ('unsafe-inline'). So when javascript is
enabled, the <noscript> sections are ignored, but the inline javascript
isn't run because CSP prohibits it, so nothing is displayed.

To whoever can fix this, I would suggest maybe avoiding <noscript>, and
instead have the javascript init() function "display:none" the generic
instructions at the same time that it turns on the javascript
instructions. That would avoid the page just displaying _nothing_ when
an error occurs, since that is very confusing.

Ideally I'd submit a bug for this, but Trac doesn't seem to let me. (Can
regular people create tickets?) If I'm missing something about that, I'd
happily submit a bug, or even try to fix this myself if I can be pointed
at where the website code is (if it's open for contributions).
