If you compare the "Upgrade" section on both pages, you will see that "Debian's point A" is not present in the Ubuntu version. This is because the package names to install TDE in Ubuntu are different from Debian. I do not have an Ubuntu system to test on. Could you check and let me know if there is any error or missing info regarding the Ubuntu page? Thanks.
