Problem with building instructions for btrfs-tools in https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Btrfs_source_repositories

There is a missing dependency: liblzo2-dev

Without it, the make fails with:

~/tmp$ git clone 
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mason/btrfs-progs.git

~/tmp$ cd btrfs-progs

~/tmp/btrfs-progs$ sudo apt-get install uuid-dev libattr1-dev zlib 
1g-dev libacl1-dev e2fslibs-dev libblkid-dev

~/tmp/btrfs-progs$ make

I suggest to make amendment to the wiki and add a "liblzo2-dev" to the 
apt-get line for Ubuntu/Debian.

Added. Other distros may need some additions too.

Anyone can edit the wiki, as the spambots will attest; a ConfirmEdit 
captcha at signup would be nice.
