The build prerequisites for Debian based Linux does not quite apply for Ubuntu 14.04.2/64 bit

The prerequisites for Debian based Linuxes on servo main project page (https://github.com/servo/servo) seems not quite applicable for Ubuntu 14.04.2/64 bit.
On my setup running the command
sudo apt-get install curl freeglut3-dev
libfreetype6-dev libgl1-mesa-dri libglib2.0-dev xorg-dev
gperf g++ cmake python-virtualenv
libssl-dev libbz2-dev libosmesa6-dev libxmu6 libxmu-dev
Fails on some unresolbable dependancy to "libcheese".
This could be mended /work-around by running the following:
sudo apt-get install libglew-dev libcheese7 libcheese-gtk23 libclutter-gst-2.0-0 libcogl15 libclutter-gtk-1.0-0 libclutter-1.0-0 xserver-xorg-input-all
Please note: this work-around was taken from here. And found with some creative googling (but with shallow insight):
So likely there is some more elegant and insightful solution.
Maybe someone should update the readme?
That someone could be you :)
Added a PR (above) to update README.
It's actually just 1 commit. Sorry about the random Github references above, I was editing the commit message, messed up and did some rebase which confused github it seems.
Completed in #7506
For better instructions on how to compile in Ubuntu 14.04.04 32 and 64 bits as well as Widows 7 32 and 64 bits see #12356
