Description
The installation instructions in the GeoDjango docs (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/ref/contrib/gis/install/geolibs/ and https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/ref/contrib/gis/install/) could be vastly simplified since most of the libraries (geos, gdal, proj4, spatialite) are now packaged at least in Ubuntu and Debian and thus don't require an installation from source.
I guess this would contribute to #22274.

My bad, it looks like this is already documented. I still think it should be more emphasized though. Maybe the source installation should be moved to specific part in the docs to keep the basic installation instructions light. This could be fixed in #22274.
