Generally yes. The "install the package" link is also important because:
- apt is not implemented by default on all derivatives/versions,
- when there are many packages to be installed at the same time, apt
is not the most convenient.
- this link allows to give, in a simple way, all installation methods
valid for all the supported derivatives and versions, with and without
GUI.
- people who don't have access to internet will need a link to the
off-line method


By the way, in the ubuntu-fr wiki, this "how to install a package"
tutorial is so widely used that we put in the wiki editor a button to
automatically insert it in the edition window. I am going to open a
new thread to discuss about it.
