Thanks!

Note that the previous installation instructions (basically, just "sudo
apt install wireguard-tools wireguard-dkms") were valid for Debian sid.

The new installation instructions are only valid for Debian jessie and
Debian stretch (admittedly, probably the largest fraction of Debian
users).  But I still think you should reflect this in the instructions.

Debian wheezy is not supported (with its old 3.2 kernel), although it
could be possible to use wireguard with the wheezy-backports kernel
(3.16).  I don't think it's worth mentioning it anyway, Wheezy is
old-stable and will soon be old-old-stable.
