Patches welcome :)

It's tricky to try to keep something short enough that people read it,
while still getting critical information across. I did my best, but...

I still think the text and definitely the README.venv could be written in a less 
confusing way. For instance, README.venv starts out saying



It is recommended to let Debian's package managers manage Python packages in
/usr/lib/ and /usr/share/.


So for my case ("pip install --user"), obviously this document is not relevant, 
since indeed I do want to let Debian manage the packages in /usr. Nothing in 
that file even mentions ~/.local.
